A heavy rope is suspended from a rigid support. A transverse wave pulse is set up at the lower end, then
the pulse will travel with uniform speed
the pulse will travel with increasing speed
the pulse will travel with decreasing speed
the pulse cannot travel through the rope
A train standing at the outer signal of a railway station blows a whistle of frequency $400\, Hz$ in still air. What is the frequency of the whistle for a platform observer when the train recedes from the platform with a speed of $10\, m/s$ ...... $Hz$ . (Speed of sound $= 340\, m/s$)
Two monoatomic ideal gases $1$ and $2$ of molecular masses $M_1$ and $M_2$ respectively are enclosed in separate containers kept a the same temperature. The ratio of the speed of sound in gas $1$ to that in gas $2$ is
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
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 occurrence of $6\, beats/s$ when both the wires oscillate together would be
Two trains $A$ and $B$ initially $120\, km$ apart, start moving towards each other on the same track with a velocity of $60\, km/hr$ each. At the moment of start $A$ blows a whistle, which reflects on $B$ and subsequently reflects from $A$ and so on. Take the velocity of sound waves in air $1200\, km/hr$. The distance travelled by sound waves before the trains crash will be (in $km$)
