Four different independent waves are represented by $(i)$ $y_1 = a_1 \sin \omega t$,$(ii)$ $y_2 = a_2 \sin 2\omega t$,$(iii)$ $y_3 = a_3 \cos \omega t$,and $(iv)$ $y_4 = a_4 \sin (\omega t + \frac{\pi}{3})$. With which two waves is interference possible?

$A$ transverse sinusoidal wave of amplitude $a,$ wavelength $\lambda,$ and frequency $n$ is travelling on a stretched string. The maximum speed of any point on the string is $v/10,$ where $v$ is the speed of propagation of the wave. If $a = 10^{-3} \ m$ and $v = 10 \ m/s,$ then $\lambda$ and $n$ are given by:

Two superimposing waves are represented by the equations $y_1 = 2 \sin 2 \pi(10 t - 0.4 x)$ and $y_2 = 4 \sin 2 \pi(20 t - 0.8 x)$. The ratio of $I_{\max}$ to $I_{\min}$ is ........

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 .... $km$.

If a microwave and an ultrasonic sound wave have the same wavelength, the ratio of their frequencies is approximately:

An air column in a tube $32 \,cm$ long, closed at one end, is in resonance with a tuning fork. The air column in another tube, open at both ends, of length $66 \,cm$ is in resonance with another tuning fork. When these two tuning forks are sounded together, they produce $8$ beats per second. Then the frequencies of the two tuning forks are (Consider fundamental frequencies only):
