In wave propagation

The speed of propagation of a sinusoidal wave is given by V=νλ where

Velocity of sound in air is 300 m/s. Then the distance between two successive nodes of a stationary wave of frequency 1000 Hz is.

Two waves of wavelength 1m & 1.01 m produce 10 beats in 3 sec. The velocity of sound in a gas is about

When we make a mobile telephone call to a friend

When two or more waves traverse the same medium, the displacement of any element of the medium is the algebraic sum of the displacements due to each wave. This is known as

There are three sources of sound of equal intensities with frequencies 400, 401 and 402 Hz. The number of beats per seconds is

Longitudinal waves cannot be propagated through

A man is watching two trains one leaving and other approaching with equal velocities of 4 m/s. If they sound their whistles each of natural frequency 240 Hz, the number of beats heard per sec by the man will be (velocity of sound in air 320 m/s)

Electromagnetic waves are different from sound waves in that

Two sinusoidal waves on the same string exhibit interference, adding or cancelling according to the principle of superposition. If the two are travelling in the same direction and have the same amplitude a and frequency but differ in phase by a phase constant φφ, the result is a single wave with the same frequency ω:If φ = 0 or an integral multiple of 2 π

The velocity of sound in gas in which two waves of wavelength 1.0 m and 0.01 m produces 4 beats/sec. is

Matter waves are useful in

A fork of unknown frequency when sounded with another fork of frequency 256 Hz produces 4 beats/sec. The first fork is loaded with wax. It again produces 4 beats/sec. When sounded together with the fork of 256 Hz frequency, then the frequency of first tuning fork is

Speed of sound in air is 350 m/s. An engine blows a whistle of frequency of 1200 Hz, it is approaching the observer with velocity 50 m/s. The apparent frequency as heard by the observer is

The quantity similar to extension or compression of the spring in sound wave propagation (air) is

When sound travels from air to water the quantity that remains unchanged is

56 tuning forks are arranged in a series that each fork gives 4 beats/sec, with the previous one. The frequency of last fork is 3 times that of first. Then frequency of first fork is

Two persons cannot hear each other on the surface of moon because the moon has

Travelling or progressive wave

A motor cyclist moving at 30 km/hr blows a whistle of 476 Hz towards a cliff. If velocity of sound is 1220 km/hr, the apparent frequency of the echo heard by him is

An echo repeats two syllables. If the velocity of sound is 330 m/s, then the distance of reflecting surface is

The waves on the surface of water are of two kinds:.

A certain broadcasting station broadcasts at frequency of 12 Mega Hz. The wavelength of waves emitted is

A tuning fork produces 4 beats/sec. with 50 cm and 40 cm of a stretched wire, of a sonometer. The frequency of fork is

When sound travels from air to water the quantity that remains unchanged is
