A sound wave having wavelength lambda forms stationary waves after reflection from a surface. The distance between two consecutive nodes is

A source S and a detector D are placed at a distance d apart. A big cardboard is placed at a distance sqrt2d from the source and the detector as shown in figure. The source emits a wave of wavelength = d/2 which is received by the detector after reflection from the cardboard. It is found to be in phase with the direct wave received from the source. By what minimum distance should the cardboard be shifted away so that the reflected wave becomes out of phase with the direct wave ?

An electric light is placed directly over the centre of a circular plot of lawn 100 m in diameter. Assuming that the intensity of light varies directly as the sine of the angle at which it strikes an illuminated surface and inversely as the square of its distance from its surface, how should the light be hung in order that the intensity may be as great as possible at the circumference of the plot?

A spherical mirror is placed 10 cm below the level of water. A point oject is placed in air 30 cm above the water surface on the axis of the mirror such that two images seen by an observer above the water surface coincide. The images are formed by partial reflection at the water surface and due to emerging light after feflection from the mirror. Find the focal length of the mirror. (mu_("water")=(4)/(3))
