Waves PYQs - Last 5 Years

List-I shows four configurations made of straight and semi-circular narrow tubes containing air. A sound wave of wavelength $\lambda = 0.29\ \mathrm{m}$ enters these structures at the point $S$ and a sound detector is placed at $D$.

An audio transmitter $(T)$ and a receiver $(R)$ are hung vertically from two identical massless strings of length 8 m with their pivots well separated along the $X$ axis. They are pulled from the equilibrium position in opposite directions ...

A source (S) of sound has frequency $240 \mathrm{~Hz}$. When the observer (O) and the source move towards each other at a speed $v$ with respect to the ground (as shown in Case 1 in the figure), the observer measures the frequency of the so...

Two uniform strings of mass per unit length $\mu$ and $4 \mu$, and length $L$ and $2 L$, respectively, are joined at point $\mathrm{O}$, and tied at two fixed ends $\mathrm{P}$ and $\mathrm{Q}$, as shown in the figure. The strings are under...

Consider both sources emitting sound. When $S_2$ is at $R$ and $S_1$ approaches the detector with a speed $4 \mathrm{~m} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}$, the beat frequency measured by the detector is _________ $\mathrm{Hz}$.

When only $S_2$ is emitting sound and it is at $Q$, the frequency of sound measured by the detector in $\mathrm{Hz}$ is _________.

A string of length $1 \mathrm{~m}$ and mass $2 \times 10^{-5} \mathrm{~kg}$ is under tension $T$. When the string vibrates, two successive harmonics are found to occur at frequencies $750 \mathrm{~Hz}$ and $1000 \mathrm{~Hz}$. The value of ...
