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 n1 is equal to : ( the sound velocity in air is 300 m/s)
n1 = 10n
n1 = 0
n1 = 0.1 n
n1 = -0.1 n
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
If the amplitude of sound is doubled 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
Equations of two progressive waves are given by y1 = a sin (ωt + ø2). If amplitude and time period of resultant wave are same as that of both the waves, then (ø1 - ø2) is:
A cylindrical resonance tube open at both ends, has a fundamental frequency ƒ, in air. If half of the length is dipped vertically in water, the fundamental frequency of the air column will be:
2ƒ
ƒ
A car is moving towards a high cliff. The car driver sounds a horn of frequency ƒ. The reflected sound heard by the driver has a frequency 2ƒ. If v be the velocity of sound, then the velocity of the car, in the same velocity units, will be:
Two waves are approaching each other with a velocity of 20 m/s and frequency n. The distance between two consecutive nodes is:
A whistle revolves in a circle with angular velocity ω = 20 rad/s using a string of length 50 cm. If the actual frequency of sound from the whistle is 385 Hz, then minimum frequency heard by the observer far away from the centre is: (velocity of sound v = 340 m/s)
385 Hz
374 Hz
394 Hz
333 Hz
A 5.5 m length of string has a mass of 0.035 kg. If the tension in the string is 77 N, the speed of a wave on the string is:
