Two trains move towards each other with the same speed. The speed of sound is 340 m/s. If the height of the tone of the whistle of one of them heard on the other changes times, then the speed of each train should be:
20 m/s
2 m/s
200 m/s
2000 m/s
A wave enters to water from air. In air frequency, wavelength, intensity and velocity are n1, λ1, l1 and v1 respectively. In water the corresponding quantities are n2, λ2, l1and v2 respectively, then:
l1 = l2
n1 = n2
v1 = v2
λ1 = λ2
An observer moves towards a stationary source of sound with a speed th of the speed of sound. The wavelength and frequency of the source emitted are λ and ƒ respectively. The apparent frequency and wavelength recorded by the observer are respectively:
ƒ, 1.2λ
0.8ƒ, 0.8λ
1.2ƒ, 1.2λ
1.2ƒ, λ
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
3
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
The frequency of sinusoidal wave, 0.40 cos (2000t + 0.80) would be:
1000π Hz
2000 Hz
20 Hz
The driver of a car travelling with speed 30 ms-1 towards a hill sounds a horn of frequency 600 Hz. If the velocity of sound in air is 330 ms-1, the frequency of reflected sound as heard by driver is:
550 Hz
555.5 Hz
720 Hz
500 Hz
A pointer source emits sound equally in all directions in a non-absorbing medium. Two points P and Q are at distance of 2m and 3m respectively from the source. The ratio of the intensities of the waves at P and Q is:
9 : 4
2 : 3
3 : 2
4 : 9
The transverse wave represented by the equation will have :
Amplitude = 4π
Speed of propagation = 5
The speed of a wave in a medium is 760 m/s. If 3600 waves are passing through a point in the medium in 2 min, then their wavelength is:
13.8 m
25.3 m
41.5 m
57.2 m
