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 -

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 progressive wave travelling along the positive x-direction is represented by y(x,t) = Asin(kx – $$\omega $$t + $$\phi $$). Its snapshot at t = 0 is given in the figure.
For this wave, the phase $$\phi $$ is :

A submarine (A) travelling at 18 km/hr is being chased along the line of its velocity by another submarine (B) travelling at 27 km/hr. B sends a sonar signal of 500 Hz to detect A and receives a reflected sound of frequency $$\upsilon $$. The value of $$\upsilon $$ is close to: (Speed of sound in water =1500 ms^–1)
