Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Here `f _(1) = (v)/(4L) = (340)/(4 xx 0.85) =100 Hz`
Now, possible vibratons are `f _(1), 3f_(1) , 5f _(1), 7f_(1) , 9f_(1) and 11 f _(1)` with frequencies `100,300, 500,700,900,1100Hz.(because` Here we require `f lt 1250 Hz)`
No. of possible harmonics = 6

A pipe 20 cm long is closed at one end. Which harmonic mode of the pipe is resonantly excited by a 430 Hz source ? Will the same source be in resonane with the pipe if both end are open ? (speed of sound in air is 340 m s^(-1)) .

Two trains A and B moving with speeds 20m//s and 30m//s respectively in the same direction on the same straight track, with B ahead of A . The engines are at the front ends. The engine of train A blows a long whistle. Assume that the sound of the whistle is composed of components varying in frequency from f_(1) = 800 Hz to f_(2) = 1120 Hz , as shown in the figure. The spread in the frequency (highest frequency - lowest frequency) is thus 320 Hz . The speed of sound in still air is 340 m//s . (4) The speed of sound of the whistle is

A stationary observer receives sound from two identical tuning forks, one of which approaches and the other one receded with the same speed (much less than the speed of sound). The observer hears 2 beats/sec. The oscillation frequency of each tuning fork is v_(0)= 1400Hz and the velocity of sound in air is 350m/s. The speed of each tuning fork is close to
