    $(\sqrt{I_1} - \sqrt{I_2})^2$
  • B
    $2(I_1 + I_2)$
  • C

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 $g$)

$A$ 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 .... $m$

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?

$Assertion :$ The pitch of wind instruments rises and that of string instruments falls as an orchestra warms up.
$Reason :$ When temperature rises,the speed of sound increases,but the speed of a wave in a string fixed at both ends decreases.
