(2) 20 Hz and 25 Hz

(3) 400 Hz and 500 Hz

(4) 1000 Hz and 1500 Hz

Two vibrating tuning forks produce progressive waves given by $Y_1=4\sin 500\pi t$ and $Y_2=2\sin 506\pi t.$ Number of beats produced per minute is :

(1) 360

(2) 180

(3) 3

(4) 60

A wave represented by the given equation $y=a\cos (kx-\omega t)$ is superposed with another wave to form a stationary wave such that the point x = 0 is a node. The equation for the other wave is :

(1) $y=a\sin (kx+\omega t)$

(2) $y=-a\cos (kx+\omega t)$

(3) $y=-a\cos (kx-\omega t)$

(4) $y=-a\sin (kx-\omega t)$

A standing wave having 3 nodes and 2 antinodes is formed between two atoms having a distance 1.21 Å between them. The wavelength of the standing wave is :

(4) 3.63 Å

In stationary waves, the distance between a node and its nearest antinode is 20 cm. The phase difference between two particles having a separation of 60 cm will be :

(1) Zero

(2) π/2

(3) π

(4) 3π/2

A standing wave is represented by $Y=A\sin \left(100t\right)\cos (0.01x)$ where Y and A are in millimetres, t is in seconds and x is in metres. The velocity of the wave is:
