$A$ narrow tube is bent in the form of a circle of radius $R,$ as shown in the figure. Two small holes $S$ and $D$ are made in the tube at positions right-angled to each other. $A$ source placed at $S$ generates a wave of intensity $I_0$ which is equally divided into two parts: one part travels along the longer path,while the other travels along the shorter path. Both the waves meet at the point $D$ where a detector is placed. The maximum intensity produced at $D$ is given by

  • A
    $4I_0$
  • B
    $2I_0$
  • C
    $I_0$
  • D
    All of the above

$A$ vibrating string of length $\ell$ 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:

$A$ 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 second 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 $320 \ m/s$,the mass of the string is: (in $g$)

Two speakers connected to the same source of fixed frequency are placed $2.0 \ m$ apart in a box. $A$ sensitive microphone placed at a distance of $4.0 \ m$ from their midpoint along the perpendicular bisector shows maximum response. The box is slowly rotated until the speakers are in line with the microphone. The distance between the midpoint of the speakers and the microphone remains unchanged. Exactly five maximum responses are observed in the microphone in doing this. The wavelength of the sound wave is .... $m$

The persistence of sound in a room after the source of sound is turned off is called reverberation. The measure of reverberation time is the time required for sound intensity to decrease by $60 \,dB$. It is given that the intensity of sound falls off as $I = I_0 \exp(-c_1 \alpha)$,where $I_0$ is the initial intensity,$c_1$ is a dimensionless constant with value $1/4$. Here,$\alpha$ is a positive constant which depends on the speed of sound $v_s$,volume of the room $V$,reverberation time $t$,and the effective absorbing area $A_e$. The value of $A_e$ is the product of the absorbing coefficient and the area of the room. For a concert hall of volume $V = 600 \,m^3$,the value of $A_e$ (in $m^2$) required to give a reverberation time of $t = 1 \,s$ is closest to (speed of sound in air $v_s = 340 \,m/s$):
