$A$ rod of length $L$ and negligible mass is suspended by two identical strings $AB$ and $CD$ as shown in the figure. $A$ mass $M$ is suspended from point $O$ which is at a distance $x$ from $B$. If the frequency of the first harmonic of $AB$ is equal to the frequency of the second harmonic of $CD$,then the value of $x$ is

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:

Which of the following statements is incorrect?

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

$A$ 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 right-angled 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 point $D$ where a detector is placed. If a maxima is formed at the detector,then the possible values for the wavelength $\lambda$ of the wave produced are given by:

Following are expressions for four plane simple harmonic waves:
$(i) \, y_1 = A \cos 2\pi \left( n_1 t + \frac{x}{\lambda_1} \right)$
$(ii) \, y_2 = A \cos 2\pi \left( n_1 t + \frac{x}{\lambda_1} + \frac{1}{2} \right)$
$(iii) \, y_3 = A \cos 2\pi \left( n_2 t + \frac{x}{\lambda_2} \right)$
$(iv) \, y_4 = A \cos 2\pi \left( n_2 t - \frac{x}{\lambda_2} \right)$
The pairs of waves which will produce destructive interference and stationary waves respectively in a medium are:
