$A$ massless rod is suspended by two identical strings $AB$ and $CD$ of equal length. $A$ block of mass $m$ is suspended from point $O$ such that $BO$ is equal to $x$. Further,it is observed that the frequency of the $1^{st}$ harmonic (fundamental frequency) in $AB$ is equal to the $2^{nd}$ harmonic frequency in $CD$. Then,the length of $BO$ is:

  • A
    $\frac{L}{5}$
  • B
    $\frac{L}{4}$
  • C
    $\frac{4L}{5}$
  • D
    $\frac{3L}{4}$

Four different independent waves are represented by $(i)$ $y_1 = a_1 \sin \omega t$,$(ii)$ $y_2 = a_2 \sin 2\omega t$,$(iii)$ $y_3 = a_3 \cos \omega t$,and $(iv)$ $y_4 = a_4 \sin (\omega t + \frac{\pi}{3})$. With which two waves is interference possible?

$A$ vibrating string of certain length $l$ 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:

Select the correct alternative$(s)$ :-
$(A)$ Number of nodes equals to number of antinodes in closed organ pipe.
$(B)$ In open organ pipe,if number of antinodes is $m$,then number of nodes will be $m-1$.
$(C)$ If frequency of $4^{\text{th}}$ harmonic of open organ pipe is $400 \ Hz$,then frequency of $2^{\text{nd}}$ overtone of closed organ pipe of same length is $250 \ Hz$.
$(D)$ Time interval between successive maxima or minima (for superposition of two waves) is $\Delta t = \frac{1}{|f_1-f_2|} \ s$.

Two tuning forks $A$ and $B$ give $5$ beats per second. Fork $A$ resonates with a closed air column $20 \ cm$ long and fork $B$ with an open air column $40.5 \ cm$ long. Neglecting end correction,the frequencies of tuning forks $A$ and $B$ are respectively.

$A$ pipe closed at one end has a length of $0.8 \,m$. At its open end, a $0.5 \,m$ long uniform string is vibrating in its $2^{nd}$ harmonic and it resonates with the fundamental frequency of the pipe. If the tension in the wire is $50 \,N$ and the speed of sound is $320 \,m/s$, what is the mass of the string (in $\,g$)?
