Consider the three waves z1,z2 and z3 as
Z1 + Z2
Z2 + Z3
Z3 + Z1
Z1 + Z2 + Z3
An earthquake generates both transverse (S) and longitudinal (P) sound waves in the earth. The speed of S waves is about 4.5 km s -1 and that of P waves is about 8.0 km s -1. A seismograph records P and S waves from an earthquake. The first P wave arrives 4.0 min before the first S wave. The epicentre of the earthquake is located at a distance of
25 km
250 km
2,500 km
5,000 km
Two waves are said to be coherent, if they have
same phase but different amplitude
same frequency but different amplitude
same frequency, phase and amplitude
different frequency, phase and amplitude
A whistle producing sound waves of frequencies,9,500 Hz and above is approaching a stationary person with speed u ms-1. The velocity of sound in air is 300 ms-1.If the person can hear frequencies upto a maximum of 10,000 Hz, the maximum value of u upto which he can hear the whistle is
15 ms-1
30 ms-1
Velocity of sound waves in air is 330 m/s. For a particular sound wave in air, path difference of 40 cm is equivalent to phase difference of 1.6π. The frequency of this wave is
