A resonance tube is old and has jagged end. It is still used in the laboratory to determine velocity of sound in air. A tuning fork of frequency 512 Hz produces first resonance when the tube is filled with water to a mark 11 cm below a reference mark, near the open end of the tube. The experiment is repeated with another fork of frequency 256 Hz which produces first resonance when water reaches a mark 27 cm below the reference mark. The velocity of sound in air, obtained in the experiment, is close to :

A travelling harmonic wave is represented by the equation y(x,t) = 10^–3sin (50t + 2x), where, x and y are in mater and t is in seconds. Which of the following is a correct statement about the wave ?

Equation of travelling wave on a stretched string of linear density 5 g/m is y = 0.03 sin(450 t – 9x) where distance and time are measured in SI units. The tension in the string is :

A train moves towards a stationary observer with speed 34 m/s. The train sounds a whistle and its frequency registered by the observer is ƒ₁. If the speed of the train is reduced to 17 m/s, the frequency registered is ƒ₂. If speed of sound is 340 m/s, then the ratio ƒ₁/ƒ₂ is -
