Diffraction of sound waves is more evident than light waves in daily life because:

  • A
    $\lambda_{\text{sound}} > \lambda_{\text{light}}$
  • B
    $\lambda_{\text{sound}} < \lambda_{\text{light}}$
  • C
    $\lambda_{\text{sound}} = \lambda_{\text{light}}$
  • D
    Sound waves are longitudinal but light waves are transverse

The time of reverberation of a room $A$ is $1 \; s$. What will be the time (in seconds) of reverberation of a room,having all the dimensions double of those of room $A$?

$A$ stretched uniform wire of length $L$ under tension $T$ is vibrating with fundamental frequency $n$. $A$ closed pipe of the same length $L$ is also vibrating with the same fundamental frequency $n$. If the tension $T$ is increased by $16 \,N$, the wire resonates with the $2^{\text{nd}}$ harmonic of the same closed pipe. The initial tension in the wire is: (in $\,N$)

$A$ massless rod is suspended by two identical strings $AB$ and $CD$ of equal length. $A$ block of mass $m$ is suspended from point $O$ such that $BO$ is equal to $x$. Further,it is observed that the frequency of the $1^{st}$ harmonic (fundamental frequency) in $AB$ is equal to the $2^{nd}$ harmonic frequency in $CD$. Then,the length of $BO$ is:
