The superposing waves are represented by the following equations: ${y_1} = 5\sin 2\pi (10t - 0.1x)$ and ${y_2} = 10\sin 2\pi (20t - 0.2x)$. The ratio of intensities $\frac{I_{\max}}{I_{\min}}$ will be:

  • A
    $1$
  • B
    $9$
  • C
    $4$
  • D
    $16$

$A$ man standing in front of a mountain beats a drum at regular intervals. The rate of drumming is gradually increased and he finds that the echo is not heard distinctly when the rate becomes $40$ per minute. He then moves nearer to the mountain by $90 \ m$ and finds that the echo is again not heard when the drumming rate becomes $60$ per minute. The distance between the mountain and the initial position of the man is .... $m$

$(A)$ 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 $\Delta t = \frac{1}{|f_1-f_2|} \ s$.

$A$ hollow pipe of length $0.8 \ m$ is closed at one end. At its open end,a $0.8 \ m$ long uniform string is vibrating in its second harmonic and it resonates with the fundamental frequency of the pipe. If the tension in the string is $50 \ N$ and the speed of sound in air is $320 \ m/s$,the mass of the string is: (in $g$)
