Two vibrating tuning forks produce progressive waves given by y1 = 4 sin 500 πt and y2 = 2 sin 506 πt. Number of beats produced per minute is:
360
180

Two sound waves with wavelengths 5.0 m and 5.5 m respectively, each propagate in a gas with velocity 330 m/s. We expect the following number of beats per second:
12

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

Standing waves are produced in a 10m long stretched string. If the string vibrates in 5 segments and the wave velocity is 20 m/s, the frequency is:
10 Hz
5 Hz
4 Hz
2 Hz
Two waves are approaching each other with a velocity of 20 m/s and frequency n. The distance between two consecutive nodes is:
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
Each of the two strings of length 51.6 cm and 49.1 cm are tensioned separately by 20 N force. Mass per unit length of both the strings is same adn equal to 1 gm-1. When both the strings vibrate simultaneously the number of beats will be:
5
7
8
