Statement-1: As light travels from one medium to another, thhe frequency of light doesn't change. Statement-2: Frequency is the characteristic of source.

Statement-1 : Two longitudinal waves given by equation y_(1)(x,t)=2asin(omegat-kx) and y_(2)(x,t)=a sin (2 omegat-2kx) will have equal intensity. Statement-2 : Intensity of waves of given frequency in same medium is proportional to square of amplitude only.

In nature the failure of structural members usually result from large torque because of twisting or bending rather than due to tensile or compressive strains. This process of structural breakdown is called buckling and in cases of tall cylindrical structures like trees, the torque is caused by its own weight bending the structure. Thus, the vertical through the centre of gravity does not fall within the base. The elastic torque caused because of this bending about the central axis of the tree is given by (Ypi r ^(2))/(4R) Y is the Young's modulus, r is the radius 4R of the trunk and R is the radius of curvature of the bent surface along the height of the tree containing the centre of gravity (the neutral surface). Estimate the critical height of a tree for a given radius of the trunk.
