Stationary waves are produced in 10 m long stretched string. If the string vibrates in 5 segments and wave velocity 20 m/s then the frequency is :-

Wave length of two notes in the air are [ 70/ 153] m and [70 / 157] m . Each of these notes produces 8 beats per second with a tuning fork of fixed frequency . Find the velocity of sound in the air and frequency of the tuning fork.

A tuning fork is used to produce resonance in glass tuve. The length of the air column in the tube can be adjusted by a variable piston. At room temperature of 27^@C two succesive resonance are produced at 20 cm and 73 cm column length. If the frequency of the tuning fork is 320 Hz. the velocity of sound is air at 27^(@)C is

A weight is attached to the free end of a sonometer wire. It gives resonance at length of 40 cm, when it is vibrating in unison with tuning fork of frequency 512 Hz. The weight is then immersed wholly in water, the resonating length is reduced to 30 cm. The relative density of the fluid in which weight is immersed is

A train has just completed a U-curve in a track which is a semicircle. The engine is at the forward end of the semi-circular part of the track while the last carriage is at the rear end of the semi-circular track. The driver blows a whistle of frequency 200 Hz. Velocity of sound is 340 m//s . Then the apparent frequency as observed by a passenger in the middle of a train when the speed of the train is 30 m//s is

A standing wave is produced on a string fixed at one end with the other end free. The length of the string

the equation of a progressive wave is given by y=5 sin (100πt−0.4πx) where y and x are in m and t is in s. Which of the following statement are correct? (1) The amplitude of the wave is 5 m. (2) The wavelength of the wave is 5 m. (3) The frequency of the wave is 50 Hz. (4) The velocity of the wave is 250 m/s

State the formula for the velocity of transverse waves on stretched wire and obtain an expression for fundamental frequency of vibration of stretched string.

A vibrating string of certain length l under a tension T resonates with a mode corresponding to the first overtone (third harmonic) of an air column of length 75cm inside a tube closed at one end. The string also generates 4 beats per second when excited along with a tuning fork of frequency n . Now when the tension of the string is slightly increased the number of beats reduces 2 per second. Assuming the velocity of sound in air to be 340 m//s , the frequency n of the tuning fork in Hz is
