A stationary observer receives sound from two identical tuning forks, one of which approaches and the other one recedes with the same speed (much less than the speed of sound). The observer hears 2 beats/sec. The oscillation frequency of each tuning fork is v₀ = 1400 Hz and the velocity of sound in air is 350 m/s. The speed of each tuning fork is close to :

A thin lens made of glass (refractive index = 1.5) of focal length f = 16 cm is immersed in a liquid of refractive index 1.42. If its focal length in liquid is f₁ , then the ratio $${{{f_1}} \over f}$$ is closest to the integer :

The electric field of a plane electromagnetic wave is given by
$$\overrightarrow E = {E_0}{{\widehat i + \widehat j} \over {\sqrt 2 }}\cos \left( {kz + \omega t} \right)$$

At t = 0, a positively charged particle is at the point (x, y, z) = $$\left( {0,0,{\pi \over k}} \right)$$.
If its instantaneous velocity at (t = 0) is $${v_0}\widehat k$$ , the force acting on it due to the wave is :

Under an adiabatic process, the volume of an ideal gas gets doubled. Consequently the mean collision time between the gas molecule changes from $${\tau _1}$$ to $${\tau _2}$$ . If $${{{C_p}} \over {{C_v}}} = \gamma $$ for this gas then a good estimate for $${{{\tau _2}} \over {{\tau _1}}}$$ is given by :
