Two coherent sources of sound, S₁ and S₂, produce sound waves of the same wavelength, $$\lambda $$ = 1 m, in phase. S₁ and S₂ are placed 1.5 m apart (see fig). A listener, located at L, directly in front of S₂ finds that the intensity is at a minimum
when he is 2 m away from S₂. The listener moves away from S₁, keeping his distance from S₂ fixed. The adjacent maximum of intensity is observed when the listener is at a distance d from S₁. Then, d is :

In an experiment to verify Stokes law, a small spherical ball of radius r and density $$\rho $$ falls under gravity through a distance h in air before entering a tank of water. If the terminal velocity of the ball inside water is same as its velocity just before entering the water surface, then the value of h is proportional to :
(ignore viscosity of air)

Nitrogen gas is at 300^oC temperature. The temperature (in K) at which the rms speed of a H₂ molecule would be equal to the rms speed of a nitrogen molecule, is _______.
(Molar mass of N₂ gas 28 g).

A thin rod of mass 0.9 kg and length 1 m is suspended, at rest, from one end so that it can freely oscillate in the vertical plane. A particle of move 0.1 kg moving in a straight line with velocity 80 m/s hits the rod at its bottom most point and sticks to it (see figure). The angular speed (in rad/s) of the rod immediately after the collision will be _________.
