Two identical piano wires, kept under the same tension T, have a fundamental frequency of 600 Hz. The fractional increase in the tension of one of the wires which will lead to the occurrence of 6 beats/s when both the wires oscillate together would be:

1. 0.01

2. 0.02

3. 0.03

4. 0.04

The equation of a simple harmonic wave is given by \(y=3\sin \frac{\pi}{2}(50t-x)\) where \(x \) and \(y\) are in meters and \(t\) is in seconds. The ratio of maximum particle velocity to the wave velocity is:

For a wave \(y=y_0 \sin (\omega t-k x)\), for what value of \(\lambda\) is the maximum particle velocity equal to two times the wave velocity?
1. \(\pi y_0\)
2. \(2\pi y_0\)
3. \(\pi y_0/2\)
4. \(4\pi y_0\)

Two stationary sources exist, each emitting waves of wavelength λ. If an observer moves from one source to the other with velocity u, then the number of beats heard by him is equal to:

1. $\frac{2u}{\lambda }$

2. $\frac{u}{\lambda }$

3. $\sqrt{\mu \lambda }$

4. $\frac{\mu }{2\lambda }$

The equations of two waves are given as x = acos(ωt + δ) and y = a cos (ωt + $\alpha$), where δ = $\alpha$ + $\pi$/2, then the resultant wave can be represented by:

1. a circle (c.w)

2. a circle (a.c.w)

3. an ellipse (c.w)

4. an ellipse (a.c.w)
