A transverse sinusoidal wave moves along a string in the positive x-direction at a speed of 10 cm/s. The wavelength of the waves is 0.5 m and its amplitude is 10 cm. At a particular time t, the snap-shot of the wave is shown in figure. The velocity of point P when its displacement is 5 cm is :
A vibrating string of certain length 1 under a tension T resonates with a mode corresponding to the first overtone (third harmonic) of an air column of length 75 cm inside a tube closed at one end. The string also generates 4 beats per second when excited along with a tuning fork of frequency n. Now when the tension of the string is slightly increased the number of beats reduces to 2 per second. Assuming the velocity of sound in air to be 340 m/s, the frequency n of the tuning fork in Hz is:
In the experiment to determine the speed of sound using a resonance column,
Two trains $$A$$ and $$B$$ are moving with speeds $$20 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$$ and $$30 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$$ respectively in the same direction on the same straight track, with $$B$$ ahead of $$A$$. The engines are at the front ends. The engines of train A blows a long whistle.
Assume that the sound of the whistle is composed of components varying in frequency from $$f_{1}=800 \mathrm{~Hz}$$ to $$f_{2}=1120 \mathrm{~Hz}$$, as shown in the figure. The spread in the frequency (highest frequency - lowest frequency) is thus $$320 \mathrm{~Hz}$$. The speed of sound in still air is $$340 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$$.
The speed of sound of the whistle is
