The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze the two statements provided and determine their validity and relationship. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Statement 1**: - Statement 1 claims that in the case of beats, the intensity of sound at some positions in space remains maximum while at others it remains minimum. - This is true because beats occur due to the interference of two sound waves of slightly different frequencies. At certain points, the waves constructively interfere (maxima), and at other points, they destructively interfere (minima). 2. **Understanding Statement 2**: - Statement 2 states that beats are formed due to the superposition of sound waves of unequal frequencies. - This is also true. Beats are indeed the result of the superposition of two waves with different frequencies, leading to periodic variations in intensity. 3. **Analyzing the Relationship**: - Statement 1 provides a description of the phenomenon of beats, while Statement 2 explains the cause of beats. - Since Statement 1 describes the effect (maxima and minima in intensity) that arises from the cause described in Statement 2 (superposition of waves of unequal frequencies), Statement 1 serves as a correct explanation for Statement 2. 4. **Conclusion**: - Both statements are true, and Statement 1 is the correct explanation for Statement 2. ### Final Answer: - Both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are true, and Statement 1 is the correct explanation for Statement 2.

A vertical pipe open at both ends is partially submerged in water . A tuning fork is unknown frequency is placed near the top of the pipe and made to vibrate . The pipe can be moved up and down and thus length of air column the pipe can be adjusted. For definite lengths of air column in the pipe, standing waves will be set up as a result of superposition of sound waves traveling in opposite directions. Smallest value of length of air column , for which sound intensity is maximum is 10 cm [ take speed of sound , v = 344 m//s ]. Answer the following questions.
