The two nearest harmonics of a tube close at one end and open at the other end are 220Hz and 260Hz. What is the fundamental frequency of the system?

A wave travelling in the positive x-direction having maximum displacement along y-direction as 1m, wavelength 2π m and frequency of 1/π Hz is represented by

(3) y=sin(10πx-20πt)

(4) y=sin(2πx+2πt)

A source of unknown frequency gives 4 beats/s when sounded with a source of known frequency 250 Hz. The second harmonic of the source of unknown frequency gives five beats per second when sounded with a source of frequency 513 Hz. The unknown frequency is

(2) 246 Hz

(3) 240 Hz

(4) 260 Hz

Two sources of sound placed close to each other, are emitting progressive waves given by

An observer located near these two sources of sound will hear

(a)4 beats per second with intensity ratio 25:16 between waxing and waning

(b) 8 beats per second with intensity ratio 25:16 between waxing and waning

(c) 8 beats per second with intensity ratio 81:1 between waxing and waning

(d) 4 beats per second with intensity ratio 81:1 waxing and waning

A train moving at a speed of 220 ${\mathrm{ms}}^{-1}$ towards a stationary object, emits a sound of frequency 1000 Hz. Some of the sound reaching the object gets reflected back to the train as an echo. The frequency of the echo as detected by the driver of the train is

1. 3500Hz
2. 4000Hz
3. 5000Hz
4. 3000Hz

Two particles are oscillating along two close parallel straight lines side by side, with the same frequency and amplitudes. They pass each other, moving in opposite directions when their displacement is half of the amplitude. The mean positions of the two particles lie on a straight line perpendicular to the paths of the two particles. The phase difference is :

(1)zero                                 

(2)$\frac{2\mathrm{\pi }}{3}$

(3)$\mathrm{\pi }$                                     

(4)$\frac{\mathrm{\pi }}{6}$

Two waves are represented by the equations $y_1=a\sin \omega t$ and $y_2=a\cos \omega t.$ The first wave
