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 is:
5
7
8

A stretched string resonates with tuning fork frequency 512 Hz when length of the string is 0.5 m. The length of the string required to vibrate resonantly with a tuning fork of frequency 256 Hz would be:
0.25 m
0.5 m
1 m
2 m
The velocity of sound in any gas depends upon:
Wavelength of sound only
Density and elasticity of gas
Intensity of sound waves only
Amplitude and frequency of sound
