A glass tube of uniform internal radius (r) has a valve separating the two identical ends. Initially, the valve is in a tightly closed position. End 1 has a hemispherical soap bubble of radius r. End 2 has sub-hemispherical soap bubble as shown in figure. Just after opening the valve,

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:

A parallel plate capacitor C with plates of unit area and separation d is filled with a liquid of dielectric constant K = 2. The level of liquid is $$\frac{d}{3}$$ initially. Suppose the liquid level decreases at a constant speed V, the time constant as a function of time t is:

A light beam is travelling from Region I to Region IV (Refer figure). The refractive index in Regions I, II, III and IV are $${n_0},{{{n_0}} \over 2},{{{n_0}} \over 6}$$ and $${{{n_0}} \over 8}$$, respectively. The angle of incidence $$\theta$$ for which the beam just misses entering Region IV is
