A transverse wave in a medium is described by the equation $y = A \sin^2 \,(\omega t -kx)$. The magnitude of the maximum velocity of particles in the medium will be equal to that of the wave velocity, if the value of $A$ is ($\lambda$ = wavelngth of wave)
$\lambda / 2 \pi$
$\lambda / 4 \pi$
$\lambda / \pi$
$2 \lambda / \pi$
A racing car moving towards a cliff sounds its horn. The driver observes that the sound reflected from the cliff has a pitch one octave higher than the actual sound of the horn. If $v$ is the velocity of sound, the velocity of the car will be
The amplitude of a wave disturbance propagating in the positive $X-$ direction is given by $y = 1/(1 + x^2)$ at time $t = 0$ and by $y = 1/[1 + (x -1)^2]$ at $t = 2$ seconds, where $x$ and $y$ are in metres. The shape of the wave disturbance does not change during the propagation. The velocity of the wave is ..... $ms^{-1}$
Four sources of sound each of sound level $10\,dB$ are sounded together, there sultant intensity level will be ... $dB$
$56$ tuning forks are so arranged in increasing order of frequencies in series that each fork gives $4$ beats per second with the previous one. The frequency of the last fork is the octave of the first. The frequency of the first fork is ..... $Hz$
In a resonance tube experiment, the first resonance is obtained for $10\, cm$ of air column and the second for $32\, cm$. The end correction for this apparatus is ....$cm$
