Consider two pipes $A$ and $B$ of identical length. $A$ has one end closed and one end open. $B$ has both ends open. Each tube is immersed in a closed chamber of ideal gas having volume $V$. The chamber containing tube $A$ is at temperature $T_A$ and the chamber containing tube $B$ is at temperature $T_B$. The sound frequencies corresponding to the $n_A$-th harmonic in tube $A$ and the $n_B$-th harmonic in tube $B$ are the same. What is the relation between the temperatures $T_A$ and $T_B$ ?

A

$$ T_A=\left(\frac{4 n_B^2}{n_A^2}\right) T_B $$

B

$$ T_A=\left(\frac{4 n_A^2}{n_B^2}\right) T_B $$

C

$$ T_A=\left(\frac{n_A^2}{4 n_B^2}\right) T_B $$

D

$$ T_A=\left(\frac{n_B^2}{4 n_A^2}\right) T_B $$

Consider two waves, which are given by $y_1(x, t)=A \sin (k x-\omega t)$ and $y_2(x, t)=\sqrt{3} A \cos (k x-\omega t)$, where $k$ is the wave number and $\omega$ is the angular frequency. The amplitude of the resultant waveform obtained by the superposition of the two waves is $A_s$ and its phase difference with $y_1$ is $\phi_s$. What are $A_s$ and $\phi_s$ ?

A

$$ A_s=2 A \text { and } \phi_s=\frac{\pi}{3} $$

B

$$ A_s=2 A \text { and } \phi_s=\frac{\pi}{6} $$

C

$$ A_s=\frac{A}{2} \text { and } \phi_s=\frac{\pi}{3} $$

D

$$ A_s=\frac{A}{2} \text { and } \phi_s=\frac{\pi}{6} $$
