A glass tube is open at both the ends.A tuning fork of frequency f resonates with the air column inside the tube.Now the tube is placed vertically inside water so that half the length of the tube is filled with water.Now the air column inside the tube is in unison with another fork of frequency f'. Then

Two cars are approaching each other on a straight road and moving with a velocity of 60 kmph. If the sound produced in one car is of frequency 500 Hz, what will be the frequency of sound as heard by a person sitting in another car ? When the car has crossed and moving away from each other , what will be the frequency of sound as heard by the same period ? (speed of sound in air is 332 ms^(-1) )
