If the amplitude of the sound is doubled and the frequency reduced to one-fourth, the intensity of sound at the same point will be :
(1) Increased by a factor of 2
(2) Decreased by a factor of 2
(3) Decreased by a factor of 4
(4) Unchanged
Intensity level of a sound of intensity I is 30 dB. The ratio is (Where I0 is the threshold of hearing)
(1) 3000
(2) 1000
(3) 300
(4) 30
Quality of a musical note depends on :
(1) Harmonics present
(2) The amplitude of the wave
(3) Fundamental frequency
(4) The velocity of sound in the medium
If T is the reverberation time of an auditorium of volume V then :
(1)
(2)
(3)
(4)
If the separation between screen and source is increased by 2% what would be the effect on the intensity?
(1) Increases by 4%
(2) Increases by 2%
(3) Decreases by 2%
(4) Decreases by 4%
The intensity level due to two waves of the same frequency in a given medium are 1 bel and 5 bel. Then the ratio of amplitudes is :
(1) 1 : 4
(2) 1 : 2
(3) 1 : 104
(4) 1 : 102
Of the following the one which emits the sound of a higher pitch is :
(1) Mosquito
(2) Lion
(3) Man
(4) Woman
A point source emits sound equally in all directions in a non-absorbing medium. Two points P and Q are at distances of 2m and 3m respectively from the source. The ratio of the intensities of the waves at P and Q is :
(1) 9 : 4
(2) 2 : 3
(3) 3 : 2
(4) 4 : 9
Two waves having sinusoidal waveforms have different wavelengths and different amplitudes. They will be having :
(1) Same pitch and different intensity
(2) Same quality and different intensity
(3) Different quality and different intensity
(4) Same quality and different pitch
The ends of a stretched wire of length L are fixed at x = 0 and x = L. In one experiment, the displacement of the wire is and energy is E1, and in another experiment its displacement is and energy is E2. Then :
(1) E2 = E1
(2) E2 = 2E1
(3) E2 = 4E1
(4) E2 = 16E1
