A string of mass $2.5\ kg$ is under a tension of $200\ N$ . The length of the stretched string is $20.0\ m$ . If the transverse jerk is struck at one end of the string, the disturbance will reach the other end in .... $\sec$

The displacement of an elastic wave is given by the function : $y = 3\, sin\,\omega t + 4\, cos\,\omega t$ where $y$ is in $cm$ and $t$ is in $s$. The resultant amplitude is ...... $cm$

A sound absorber attenuates (decreases) the sound level by $20\, dB$. The intensity decreases by a factor of

The diagram shows snapshot of a wave at time $t = 0$. The particle at $x = x_1$ is moving upward at that instant. Direction of propagation of wave is

Two tuning forks $A$ and $B$ produce $8\,beats/s$ when sounded together. $A$ gas column $37.5\,cm$ long in a pipe closed at one end resonate to its fundamental mode with fork $A$ whereas a column of length $38.5\,cm$ of the same gas in a similar pipe is required for resonance with fork $B$. The frequencies of these two tuning forks, are

A transverse harmonic wave on a string is described by $y = 3\sin \left( {36t + 0.018x + \frac{\pi }{4}} \right)$ where $x$ and $y$ are in $cm$ and $t$ in $s$. The least distance between two successive crests in the wave is .... $m$
