$A$ transverse sinusoidal wave of amplitude $a,$ wavelength $\lambda,$ and frequency $n$ is travelling on a stretched string. The maximum speed of any point on the string is $v/10,$ where $v$ is the speed of propagation of the wave. If $a = 10^{-3} \ m$ and $v = 10 \ m/s,$ then $\lambda$ and $n$ are given by:

  • A
    $\lambda = 2\pi \times 10^{-2} \ m$
  • B
    $\lambda = 10^{-3} \ m$
  • C
    $n = \frac{10^3}{2\pi} \ Hz$
  • D
    Both $(A)$ and $(C)$

An air column in a tube $32 \,cm$ long, closed at one end, is in resonance with a tuning fork. The air column in another tube, open at both ends, of length $66 \,cm$ is in resonance with another tuning fork. When these two tuning forks are sounded together, they produce $8$ beats per second. Then the frequencies of the two tuning forks are (Consider fundamental frequencies only):

An earthquake generates both transverse $(S)$ and longitudinal $(P)$ waves in the Earth. The speed of $S$ waves is about $4.5 \, km/s$ and that of $P$ waves is about $8.0 \, km/s$. $A$ seismograph records $P$ and $S$ waves from an earthquake. The first $P$ wave arrives $4.0 \, min$ before the first $S$ wave. The epicenter of the earthquake is located at a distance of about .... $km$.
