A wave travelling along the $x-$ axis is described by the equation $y\ (x, t )\ =\ 0.005\ cos\ (\alpha x - \beta t )$ . If the wavelength and the time period of the wave in $0.08\ m$ and $2.0\ s$ respectively then $\alpha $ and $\beta $ in appropriate units are
$\alpha = 25.00\pi ,\,\beta = \pi $
$\alpha = \frac{{0.08}}{\pi },\,\beta = \frac{{2.0}}{\pi }$
$\alpha = \frac{{0.04}}{\pi },\,\beta = \frac{{1.0}}{\pi }$
$\alpha = 12.50\pi ,\,\beta = \frac{\pi }{{2.0}}$
When two waves of almost equal frequencies $v_1$ and $v_2$ reach at a point simultaneously, the time interval between successive maxima is
Two vibrating strings of the same material but lengths $L$ and $2L$ have radii $2r$ and $r$ respectively. They are stretched under the same tension . Both the strings vibrate in their fundamental modes, the one of length $L$ with frequency $f_1$ and the other with frequency $f_2$. The ratio $\frac{f_1}{f_2}$ is given by
A $10\, m$ long steel wire has mass $5\,g$. If the wire is under a tension of $80\, N$, the speed of transverse waves on the wire is .... $ms^{-1}$
A tuning of fork of frequency $392\, Hz$, resonates with $50\, cm$ length of a string under tension $(T)$. If length of the string is decreased by $2\%$, keeping the tension constant, the number of beats heard when the string and the tuning fork made to vibrate simultaneously is
