An object of density $2000 \ kg \ m^{-3}$ is hung from a thin light wire. The fundamental frequency of the transverse waves in the wire is $200 \ Hz$. If the object is immersed in water such that half of its volume is submerged,then the fundamental frequency of the transverse waves in the wire is (in $Hz$)

Explain why (or how):
$(a)$ in a sound wave,a displacement node is a pressure antinode and vice versa,
$(b)$ bats can ascertain distances,directions,nature,and sizes of the obstacles without any eyes,
$(c)$ a violin note and sitar note may have the same frequency,yet we can distinguish between the two notes,
$(d)$ solids can support both longitudinal and transverse waves,but only longitudinal waves can propagate in gases,and
$(e)$ the shape of a pulse gets distorted during propagation in a dispersive medium.

In a large room,a person receives direct sound waves from a source $120 \ m$ away from him. He also receives waves from the same source which reach him after being reflected from the $25 \ m$ high ceiling at a point halfway between them. The two waves interfere constructively for wavelengths of

$A$ man standing in front of a mountain beats a drum at regular intervals. The rate of drumming is gradually increased and he finds that the echo is not heard distinctly when the rate becomes $40$ per minute. He then moves nearer to the mountain by $90 \ m$ and finds that the echo is again not heard when the drumming rate becomes $60$ per minute. The distance between the mountain and the initial position of the man is .... $m$

An auditorium has a volume of $10^5 \ m^3$ and a surface area of absorption of $2 \times 10^4 \ m^2$. Its average absorption coefficient is $0.2$. The reverberation time of the auditorium in seconds is:

$A$ wave equation is given as $y = \cos(500t - 70x)$,where $y$ is in $mm$,$x$ is in $m$,and $t$ is in $s$. Which of the following statements is correct?
