A granite rod of 60 cm length is clamped at its middle point and is set into longitudinal vibrations. The density of granite is 2.7 $$\times$$ 10³ kg/m³ and its Young’s modulus is 9.27 $$\times$$ 10¹⁰ Pa. What will be the fundamental frequency of the longitudinal vibrations ?

The angular width of the central maximum in a single slit diffraction pattern is 60°. The width of the slit is 1 $$\mu $$m. The slit is illuminated by monochromatic plane waves. If another slit of same width is made near it, Young’s fringes can be observed on a screen placed at a distance 50 cm from the slits. If the observed fringe width is 1 cm, what is slit separation distance? (i.e. distance between the centres of each slit.)

An EM wave from air enters a medium. The electric fields are

$$\overrightarrow {{E_1}} $$ = $${E_{01}}\widehat x\cos \left[ {2\pi v\left( {{z \over c} - t} \right)} \right]$$ in air and

$$\overrightarrow {{E_2}} $$ = $${E_{02}}\widehat x\cos \left[ {k\left( {2z - ct} \right)} \right]$$ in medium,

where the wave number k and frequency $$\nu $$ refer to their values in air. The medium is non-magnetic. If $${\varepsilon _{{r_1}}}$$ and $${\varepsilon _{{r_2}}}$$ refer to relative permittivities of air and medium respectively, which of the following options is correct ?

In an a.c. circuit, the instantaneous e.m.f. and current are given by
e = 100 sin 30 t
i = 20 sin $$\left( {30t - {\pi \over 4}} \right)$$
In one cycle of a.c., the average power consumed by the circuit and the wattless current are, respectively
