$A$ rod of length $L$ and negligible mass is suspended by two identical strings $AB$ and $CD$ as shown in the figure. $A$ mass $M$ is suspended from point $O$ which is at a distance $x$ from $B$. If the frequency of the first harmonic of $AB$ is equal to the frequency of the second harmonic of $CD$, then the value of $x$ is

Fill in the blanks:
$(i)$ For humans,the minimum wavelength of a sound wave in the audible range is nearly ...... .
$(ii)$ Only ...... waves can be propagated by a fluid medium.
$(iii)$ The distance travelled by a travelling wave having wavelength $\lambda$ and periodic time $T$,in one second is ...... .

$A$ pipe closed at one end has a length of $0.8 \,m$. At its open end, a $0.5 \,m$ long uniform string is vibrating in its $2^{nd}$ harmonic and it resonates with the fundamental frequency of the pipe. If the tension in the wire is $50 \,N$ and the speed of sound is $320 \,m/s$, what is the mass of the string (in $\,g$)?

Match the following List-$I$ with List-$II$.

List-$I$	List-$II$
$(A)$ Transverse wave	$(i)$ Vibrations parallel to the direction of propagation
$(B)$ Longitudinal wave	$(ii)$ Vibrations perpendicular to the direction of propagation
$(C)$ Beats	$(iii)$ Superposition of waves travelling in the opposite directions
$(D)$ Stationary waves	$(iv)$ Superposition of waves travelling in same direction

The correct answer is

$A$ pipe open at one end has length $0.8 \,m$. At the open end of the tube, a string $0.5 \,m$ long is vibrating in its $1^{\text{st}}$ overtone and resonates with the fundamental frequency of the pipe. If the tension in the string is $50 \,N$, what is the mass of the string (in $\,g$)? (Speed of sound $= 320 \,m/s$)

Two speakers connected to the same source of fixed frequency are placed $2.0 \ m$ apart in a box. $A$ sensitive microphone placed at a distance of $4.0 \ m$ from their midpoint along the perpendicular bisector shows maximum response. The box is slowly rotated until the speakers are in line with the microphone. The distance between the midpoint of the speakers and the microphone remains unchanged. Exactly five maximum responses are observed in the microphone in doing this. The wavelength of the sound wave is .... $m$
