$A$ vibrating string of certain length $l$ under a tension $T$ resonates with a mode corresponding to the first overtone (third harmonic) of an air column of length $75 \ cm$ inside a tube closed at one end. The string also generates $4$ beats per second when excited along with a tuning fork of frequency $n$. Now,when the tension of the string is slightly increased,the number of beats reduces to $2$ per second. Assuming the velocity of sound in air to be $340 \ m/s$,the frequency $n$ of the tuning fork in $Hz$ is:

  • A
    $344$
  • B
    $336$
  • C
    $117.3$
  • D
    $109.3$

$A$ narrow tube is bent in the form of a circle of radius $R,$ as shown in the figure. Two small holes $S$ and $D$ are made in the tube at positions at a right angle to each other. $A$ source placed at $S$ generates a wave of intensity $I_0$ which is equally divided into two parts: one part travels along the longer path,while the other travels along the shorter path. Both the waves meet at the point $D$ where a detector is placed. If a minimum is formed at the detector,then the magnitude of the wavelength $\lambda$ of the wave produced is given by:

$A$ 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 second 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 $320 \ m/s$,the mass of the string is: (in $g$)

The frequency of a stretched uniform wire under tension is in resonance with the fundamental frequency of a closed tube. If the tension in the wire is increased by $8 \ N$,it is in resonance with the first overtone of the closed tube. The initial tension in the wire is .... $N$.

$A$ parallel beam of light is incident on a tank filled with water up to a height of $61.5 \,mm$ as shown in the figure below. Ultrasonic waves of frequency $0.5 \,MHz$ are sent along the length of the water column using a transducer placed at the top and they form longitudinal standing waves in the water. Which of the schematic plots below best describes the intensity distribution of the light as seen on the screen? (Take the speed of sound in water to be $1500 \,m/s$)

An earthquake generates both transverse $(S)$ and longitudinal $(P)$ waves in the Earth. The speed of $S$ waves is about $4.5 \, km/s$ and that of $P$ waves is about $8.0 \, km/s$. $A$ seismograph records $P$ and $S$ waves from an earthquake. The first $P$ wave arrives $4.0 \, min$ before the first $S$ wave. The epicenter of the earthquake is located at a distance of about .... $km$.
