Waves

A source of frequency $\nu$ gives $6$ beats/second when sounded with a source of frequency $200$ Hz. The second Harmonic of frequency $2\nu$ of the source gives $8$ beats/second when sounded with a source of frequency $420$ Hz. The value of...

The angle between the particle velocity and wave velocity in a transverse wave is [except when the particle passes through the mean position]

A galaxy is moving away from the Earth so that a spectral line at 600 nm is observed at 601 nm . Then, the speed of the galaxy with respect to the Earth is

A motor-cyclist moving towards a huge cliff with a speed of $18 \mathrm{kmh}^{-1}$, blows a horn of source frequency 325 Hz . If the speed of the sound in air is $330 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}$, the number of beats heard by him is

To propagate both longitudinal and transverse waves, a material must have

A train whistling at constant frequency \(n\) is moving towards a station at a constant speed \(v\). The train goes past a stationary observer on the station. The frequency \(n\) of the sound as heard by the observer is plotted as a functio...

The equation of a stationary wave is \(y=2 \sin \left(\frac{\pi x}{15}\right) \cos (48 \pi t)\). The distance between a node and its next antinode is

First overtone frequency of a closed pipe of length $l_1$ is equal to the second harmonic frequency of an open pipe of length $l_2$. The ratio $\frac{l_1}{l_2}$ is equal to

The waves set up in a closed pipe are
