Statement I: A tuning fork is considered as a source of an acoustic wave of a single frequency as marked on its body. Statement II: The tuning fork cannot produce any of its harmonics due to its special nature of construction.

A

Statement I is true, Statement II is true: Statement II is a correct explanation for statement I.

B

Statement I is true, Statement II is true, Statement II is NOT a correct explanation for Statement I.

C

Statement I is true, Statement II is false

D

Statement I is falce: Statement II is true

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
The tuning fork does produce harmonics, but the intensities of the harmonics are too weak to be effective, due to its special ditribution of mass and the use of prongs.

A source of sound with adjustable frequency produces 2. beats per second with a tuning fork when its frequency is either 476 Hz or 480 Hz. What is the frequency of the tuning fork ?

STATEMENT-1 : Beats will be heard if a tuning fork is sounded along with a sonometer wire with the same fundamental frequency as the tuning fork because STATEMENT -2 : Beats are caused by alternate constructive and destructive interference between two sounds.

Statement 1: A tuning fork of constant frequency sends sound waves in air. If temperature of the air increases, then the wavelength of sound wave in air decreases. Statement 2: Speed of sound in air increases with increases in temperature of air A. Statement-1 is true, Statement-2: is true, Statement-2 is a correct explanation for Statement-1. B. Statement-1 is true, Statement-2: is true, Statement-2 is NOT a correct explanation for Statement-1. C. Statement-1 is true but statement-2 is false D. Statement-1 is false, Statement-2 is true

Statement I: If the earth suddenly stops rotating about its axis, then the acceleration due to gravity will become the same at all the places. Statement II: The value of acceleration due to gravity is independent of rotation of the earth.

Statement I: An object from a greater height reaches a steady terminal velocity. Statement II: The viscous forces on a body depends upon its velocity. The greater the velocity the greater is the viscous force.

A U-tube having unequal arm-lengths has water in it. A tuning fork of frequency 440 Hz can set up the air in the shorter arm in its fundamental mode of vibration and the same tuning fork can set up the air in the longer arm in its first overtone vibration. Find the length of the air columns Neglect any end effect and assume that the speed of sound in air = 330 ms^-1

Statement I: If the amplitude of a simple harmonic oscillator is doubled, its total energy becomes four times. Statement II: The total energy is directly proportional to the square of the smplitude of vibration of the harmonic oscillator.

Statement-I : Path of a projectile is a parabola irrespective of its velocity of projection. Statement-II : Trajectory of a projectile is a parabola when variation of g, (acceleration due to gravity) can be neglected.
