A stationary observer receives sound from two identical tuning forks, one of which approaches and the other one recedes with the same speed (much less than the speed of sound). The observer hears 2 beats/sec. The oscillation frequency of each tuning fork is v₀ = 1400 Hz and the velocity of sound in air is 350 m/s. The speed of each tuning fork is close to :

Speed of a transverse wave on a straight wire (mass 6.0 g, length 60 cm and area of cross-section 1.0 mm²) is 90 ms^-1. If the Young's modulus of wire is 16 $$ \times $$ 10¹¹ Nm^-2, the extension of wire over its natural length is :

A small speaker delivers 2 W of audio output. At what distance from the speaker will one detect 120 dB intensity sound ? [Given reference intensity of sound as 10^–12 W/m² ]

A tuning fork of frequency 480 Hz is used in an experiment for measuring speed of sound (v) in air by resonance tube method. Resonance is observed to occur at two successive lengths of the air column, l₁ = 30 cm and l₂ = 70 cm. Then, v is equal to -
