A vibrating tuning fork is placed over the mouth of a burette filled with water. The tap is opened and the water level gradually falls. What do you observe ? Name the phenomenon. When does it happen?

A sonometer wire under tension of 64 N vibrating in its fundamental mode is in resonance with a vibrating tuning fork. The vibrating portion of the sonometer wire has a length of 10 cm and mass of 1 g. The vibrating tuning fork is now moved away from the vibrating wire with a constant speed and an observer standing near the sonometer hears one beat per second. Calculate the speed with which the tuning fork is moved, if the speed of sound in air is 300 m/s.

A sonometer wire under tension of 63 N vibrating in its fundamental mode is in resonance with a vibrating tuning fork. The vibrating portion of that sonometer wire has a length of 10 cm and a mass of 1 g. The vibrating tuning fork is now moved away from the vibrating wire with a constant speed and an observer standing near the sonometer hears one beat per second. Calculate the speed with which the tuning fork is moved if the speed of sound in air is 300 m/s.

The diagram above shows a wire stretched over a sonometer. Stems of two vibrating tuning forks A and B are touched to the wooden box of the sonometer. It is observed that the paper rider (a small piece of paper folded at the centre) present on the wire flies off when the stem of vibrating tuning fork B is touched to the wooden box but the paper just vibrates when the stem of vibrating tuning fork A is touched to the wooden box. Name the phenomenon when the paper rider flies off.

A vibrating tuning fork is placed over the mouth of a burette filled with water. The tap of the burette is opened and the water level gradually starts falling. It is found that the sound from the tuning fork becomes very loud for a particular length of the water column. Name the phenomenon taking place when this happens.

A vibrating tuning fork is placed over the mouth of a burette filled with water. The tap of the burette is opened and the water level gradually starts falling. It is found that the sound from the tuning fork becomes very loud for a particular length of the water column. Why does the sound become very loud for this lenght of the water column?

The stem of a vibrating tuning fork is pressed against a table top. Will it produce an audible sound ?

A closed air column 32 cm long is in resonance with a tuning fork . Another open air column of length 66 cm is in resonance with another tuning fork . If the two forks produce 8 beats//s when sounded together , find the speed of sound in the air

If the velocity of sound in air is 336 m/s. The maximum length of a closed pipe that would produce a just audible sound will be

The diagram below shows a wire stretched over a sonometer. Stems of two vibrating tuning forks A and B are touched in turn to the wooden box of the sonometer. It is observed that the paper rider (a small piece of paper folded at the centre) present on the wire flies off when the stem of vibrating tuning fork B is touched to the wooden box but the paper just vibrates when the stem of vibrating tuning fork A is touched to the wooden box. Name the phenomenon when the paper rider just vibrates.
