The Equation Of A Travelling Wave Is                                     Where Y Is The Microns, t in Seconds And x in Metres. The Ratio Of The Maximum Particle Velocity And Velocity Of The Wave Is

A weight is attached to the free end of a sonometer wire. Resonance occurs at a length of 40 cm of the wire with a tuning fork of frequency 512 Hz. The weight is then immersed wholly in water, the resonant length is reduced to 30 cm. The relative density of the weight is

A particle is executing simple harmonic motion along the x-axis with amplitude 4 cm and time period 1.2 s. The minimum time taken by the particle to move from x = +2 cm to x = +4 cm and back again is

Two waves are represented by the following equations:

The ratio of intensities I₂/I₁ will be

The velocity of sound in a diatomic gas is 300 ms^–1. What is the rms velocity of its molecules?  

The length of a sonometer wire AB is 100 cm. Where should the two bridges be placed from end A to divide the wire in three segments whose fundamental frequencies are the ratio of 1:2:3?

A toothed wheel is rotated at 120 r.p.m. A post card is placed against the teeth. How many teeth must the wheel have to produce a note whose pitch is the same as that of a tuning fork of frequency 256 Hz?

If a spring extend by x on loading, then the energy stored in the spring is (T is the tension in the spring and k its force constant)

A pulse travels along a stretched string and reaches the fixed end of the string. It will be reflected back with

At which temperature will the velocity of sound at 27^oC become double?

Due to Doppler effect, the shift in the wavelength observed is 0.1 Å, for a star producing a wavelength 6000 Å. The velocity of recession of the star will be
