While measuring the speed of sound by performing a resonance column experiment, a student gets the first resonance condition at a column length of $$18$$ $$cm$$ during winter. Repeating the same experiment during summer, she measures the column length to be $$x$$ $$cm$$ for the second resonance. Then

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
