Equations of two progressive waves are given by
If amplitude and time period of resultant wave are same as that of both the waves, then
A pulse of a wave train travels along a stretched string and reaches the fixed end of the string. It will be reflected back with
a phase change of 1800 with velocity reversed
the same phase as the incident pulse with no reversal of velocity
a phase change of 1800 with no reversal of velocity
the same phase as the incident pulse but with velocity reversed

A vehicle, with a horn of frequency n is moving with a velocity of 30 m/s in a direction perpendicular to the straight line joining the observer and the vehicle. The observer perceives the sound to have a frequency n + n1. Then (If the sound velocity in air is 300 m/s)
n1 = 10 n
n1 = 0
n1 = 0.1 n
n1 = -0.1 n
Two strings A and B have lengths lA and lB and carry masses MA and MB at their lower ends, the upper ends being supported by rigid supports. If nA and nB are the frequencies of their vibrations and nA = 2nB, then
lA = 4lB, regardless of masses
lB = 4lA, regardless of masses
MA = 2MB , lA = 2lB
MB = 2MA, lB = 2lA
