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
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 sound in a tissue is 1.7 km/s. The wavelength of sound in tissue is close to
4 x 10-4 m
8 x 10-4 m
4 x 10-3 m
8 x 10-3 m
A wave of frequency 100 Hz is sent along a string towards a fixed end. When this wave travels back after reflection, a node is formed at a distance of 10 cm from the fixed end of the string. The speed of incident ( and reflected) wave are
5 m/s
10 m/s
20 m/s
40 m/s
Two waves of same frequency and intensity superimpose on each other in opposite phases. After the superposition, the intensity and frequency of waves will
increase
decrease
remain constant
become zero
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
From a wave equation
the frequency of the wave is
5 Hz
15 Hz
20 Hz
25 Hz
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
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
110 ms-1
165 ms-1
77 ms-1
102 ms-1
Which of the following equation represents a wave?
y = a sin ωt
y = a cos kx
y = a sin (ωt - bx + c)
y = a sin (ωt - kx)
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
