A wave travelling along the $$x$$-axis is described by the equation $$y(x, t)=0.005$$ $$\cos \,\left( {\alpha \,x - \beta t} \right).$$ If the wavelength and the time period of the wave are $$0.08$$ $$m$$ and $$2.0s$$, respectively, then $$\alpha $$ and $$\beta $$ in appropriate units are

A sound absorber attenuates the sound level by $$20$$ $$dB$$. The intensity decreases by a factor of

A string is stretched between fixed points separated by $$75.0$$ $$cm.$$ It is observed to have resonant frequencies of $$420$$ $$Hz$$ and $$315$$ $$Hz$$. There are no other resonant frequencies between these two. Then, the lowest resonant frequency for this string is

A whistle producing sound waves of frequencies $$9500$$ $$Hz$$ and above is approaching a stationary person with speed $$v$$ $$m{s^{ - 1}}.$$ The velocity of sound in air is $$300\,m{s^{ - 1}}.$$ If the person can hear frequencies upto a maximum of $$10,000$$ $$HZ,$$ the maximum value of $$v$$ upto which he can hear whistle is
