A metallic wire of length $L$ is fixed between two rigid supports. If the wire is cooled through a temperature difference $\Delta T (Y =$ young’s modulus, $\rho =$ density, $\alpha =$ coefficient of linear expansion) then the frequency of transverse vibration is proportional to :
$\frac{\alpha }{{\sqrt {\rho Y} }}$
$\sqrt {\frac{{Y\alpha }}{\rho }} $
$\frac{\rho }{{\sqrt {Y\alpha } }}$
$\sqrt {\frac{{\rho \alpha }}{Y}} $
$56$ tuning forks are so arranged in increasing order of frequencies in series that each fork gives $4$ beats per second with the previous one. The frequency of the last fork is the octave of the first. The frequency of the first fork is ..... $Hz$
A small source of sound moves on a circle as shown in the figure and an observer is standing on $O.$ Let $n_1,\, n_2$ and $n_3$ be the frequencies heard when the source is at $A, B$ and $C$ respectively. Then
The speed of sound in oxygen $(O_2)$ at a certain temperature is $460\, ms^{-1}$. The speed of sound in helium $(He)$ at the same temperature will be ............. $\mathrm{m/s}$ (assume both gases to be ideal)
A wave travelling along the $x- $ axis is described by the equation $y(x, t) = 0.005\,\,cos(\alpha x\,-\,\beta t).$ If the wavelength and the time period of the wave are $0.08 \,\,m$ and $2.0\,\,s,$ respectively, then $\alpha $ and $\beta $ in appropriate units are
A massless rod is suspended by two identical strings $AB$ and $CD$ of equal length. A block of mass $m$ is suspended from point $ O $ such that $BO$ is equal to $’x’$. Further, it is observed that the frequency of $1^{st}$ harmonic (fundamental frequency) in $AB$ is equal to $2^{nd}$ harmonic frequency in $CD$. Then, length of $BO$ is
