Explanation

On comparing $y_1 = 4 sin 500 \pi t with y1 = A sin \omega_1 t$ $ we get \omega_1 = 2 \pi f_1 = 500 \pi \Rightarrow f_1 = 250 Hz $ $ Similarly y_2 = 2 sin 506 \pi t $ $ \therefore \omega_2 = 2 \pi f_2 = 506 \pi \Rightarrow f_2 = 253 Hz$ $ \therefore Freq. of beats = f_2 -f_1 = 3 $ $ \therefore No.of beats heard per minute = 3 \times 60 = 180 $

Equation for a progressive harmonic wave is given by y = 8Sin2p( 0.1x – 2t), where x and y are in cm and t is in seconds. What will be the phase difference between two particles of this wave separated by a distance of 2 cm?

Explanation

$ y = 8 sin 2 \pi ( 0.1 x -2t ) $ $ \therefore y = -8 sin 2 \pi ( 2t - 0.1 x ) comparinf with y = A sin \left( {t \over T } -{ x \over \lambda} \right) $ $ we get { 1 \over \lambda} = 0.1 \Rightarrow \lambda = 10 cm $ $ now path difference between 2 particles \delta = { 2 \pi \over \lambda} .x = kx $ $ \therefore \delta = { 2 \times 180 \times 2 \over 10 } = 72 ^\circ $

Two waves are represented by $y_1 = Asinùt$ and $y_2 = aCosùt$. The phase of the first wave, w.r.t. to the second wave is ……….

You've reached today's free limit of 20 questions. Log in to keep practising for free.
Explanation

$ y_1 = a sin \omega t and y_2 = a cos \omega t = a sin ( \omega t + { \pi \over 2 } ) $ $ \therefore 1st wave is lagging behind in phase by { \pi / 2 } $

If the resultant of two waves having amplitude b is b, then the phase difference between the two waves is …….

Explanation

Here A is the amplitude of resultant wave formed by 2 waves having amplitude $A_1$ and $A_2$ respectively. $ A^2 = A_1^2 + A_2 ^2 + 2 A_1 A_2 cos \theta $ $ Also \theta in the phase A_1 , A_2 $ $ Now putting A_1 = A_2 and A = b , we get $ $ b^2 = 2 b^2 (1 + cos \theta ) $ $ \therefore cos \theta = -{ 1/2} \Rightarrow \theta =120 ^\circ $

If two antinodes and three nodes are formed in a distance of $ 1.21 A ^\circ $ , then the wavelength of the stationary wave is ……….

Explanation

$ y = sin^2 \omega t = {1 - cos 2 \omega t \over 2 } = {1 \over 2 } - {1 \over 2 } cos 2 \omega t .....(1) $ $ \therefore \nu = { 1 \over 2 } 2 \omega sin ( 2 \omega t ) = \omega sin 2 \omega t $ $ \therefore a = 2 \omega^2 cos 2 \omega t $ $ = 2 \times 2 \omega^2 \left( {1 \over 2} - Y \right) \{ From eqn (1) \} $ $ = - 4 \omega^2 \left( { 1 \over 2} - y \right) $ $ \therefore a \alpha - y \{ \therefore SHM \} $ $ Now , { 2 \pi \over T} = 2 \omega \Rightarrow T = { \pi \over \omega } $

If two almost identical waves having frequencies n1 and n2, produced one after the other superposes then the time interval to obtain a beat of maximum intensity is ……..

You've reached today's free limit of 20 questions. Log in to keep practising for free.
Explanation

No. of beats produced per second = $ n_1 - n_2 $ $ \therefore Time interval between 2 consecutive beats = { 1 \over n_1 -n_2 } $

A string of length 70 cmis stretched between two rigid supports. The resonant frequency for this string is found to be 420 hz and 315 hz. If there are no resonant frequencies between these two values, thenwhat would be the minimum resonant frequency of this string?

You've reached today's free limit of 20 questions. Log in to keep practising for free.
Explanation

Let the number of loops obtained for 315Hz and 420Hz n and (n+1) respectively. $ \therefore f_n = nf_1 = 315 $ $ \therefore f_{n+1} = (n+1) f_1 = 420 $ $ \therefore f_{n+1} - f_n = f_1 =105 Hz $

Sound waves propagates with a speed of 350 m/s through air and with a speed of 3500 m/s through brass. If a sound wave having frequency 700 hz passes from air to brass, then its wavelength ………….

You've reached today's free limit of 20 questions. Log in to keep practising for free.
Explanation

When, sound waves travel from one medium to another, its frequency does not change. $ \therefore f = { \nu \over \lambda } = constant $ $ \therefore { \nu_a \over \lambda_a} = { \nu_b \over \lambda_b } $ $ \lambda_b = { \nu_b \over \nu_a } \lambda_a = 10 \lambda_a $

A transverse wave is represented by y = ASin (ùt-kx). For what value of its wavelength will the wave velocity be equal to the maximum velocity of the particle taking part in the wave propagation?

You've reached today's free limit of 20 questions. Log in to keep practising for free.
Explanation

Wave velocity = max. velo.of particle $ { \omega \over k } = A \omega $ $ \therefore A = { 1 \over k } = { \lambda \over 2 \pi } $ $ \therefore \lambda = 2 \pi A $
