Waves MCQs for NEET — Physics Questions with Answers

The displacement of the interfering light waves are $y_1=4\sin \omega t$ and $y_2=3\sin \left(\omega t+\frac{{\displaystyle \pi }}{{\displaystyle 2}}\right)$. What is the amplitude of the resultant wave :

Two waves are represented by $y_1=a\sin \left(\omega t+\frac{{\displaystyle \pi }}{{\displaystyle 6}}\right)$ and $y_2=a\cos \omega t$. What will be their resultant amplitude :

The amplitude of a wave represented by displacement equation $y=\frac{1}{\sqrt{a}}\sin \omega t\pm \frac{1}{\sqrt{b}}\cos \omega t$ will be

A tuning fork sounded together with a tuning fork of frequency 256 Hz emits two beats. On loading the tuning fork of frequency 256 Hz with wax, the number of beats heard are 1 per second. The frequency of the other tuning fork is :

If two tuning forks A and B are sounded together, they produce 4 beats per second. A is then slightly loaded with wax, they produce 2 beats when sounded again. The frequency of A is 256. The frequency of B will be :

Two tuning forks have frequencies 450 Hz and 454 Hz respectively. On sounding these forks together, the time interval between successive maximum intensities will be :

When a tuning fork of frequency 341 is sounded with another tuning fork, six beats per second are heard. When the second tuning fork is loaded with wax and sounded with the first tuning fork, the number of beats is two per second. The natural frequency of the second tuning fork is :

Two tuning forks A and B vibrating simultaneously produce 5 beats. Frequency of B is 512. It is seen that if one arm of A is filed, then the number of beats increases. Frequency of A will be :

Beats are produced by two waves given by $y_1=a\sin 2000\pi t$ and $y_2=a\sin 2008\pi t$. The number of beats heard per second is :

A tuning fork whose frequency as given by manufacturer is 512 Hz is being tested with an accurate oscillator. It is found that the fork produces a beat of 2 Hz when oscillator reads 514 Hz but produces a beat of 6 Hz when oscillator reads 510 Hz. The actual frequency of the fork is :
