A hospital uses an ultrasonic scanner to locate tumours in a tissue. The operating frequency of the scanner is 4.2 MHz. The speed of a sound in a tissue is 1.7 km/s. The speed of sound in a tissue is 1.7 km/s. The wavelength of sound in tissue is close to
4 x 10-4 m
8 x10-4 m
4 x10-3 m
8 x10-3 m
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
If the amplitude of sound is doubles and the frequency reduced to one-fourth, the intensity of sound at the same point will
increase by a factor of 2
decrease by a factor of 2
decrease by a factor of 4
remains unchanged
A car is moving towards a high cliff. The car driver sounds a horn of frequency f. The reflected sound heard by the driver has a frequency 2f. If v be the velocity of sound, then the velocity of the car, in the same velocity units, will be
A star which is emitting radiation at a wavelength of 5000 is approaching the earth with a velocity of 1.50 x106 m/s. The change in wavelength of the radiation as received on the earth is
An observer moves towards a stationary source of sound with a speed of the speed of sound . The wavelength and frequency of the source emitted are respectively. The apparent frequency and wavelength recorded by the observer are respectively

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
