A plane wave of sound traveling in air is incident upon a plane surface of a liquid. The angle of incidence is $60^o.$ The speed of sound in air is $300 \,m /s$ and in the liquid it is $600\, m /s .$ Assume Snell’s law to be valid for sound waves.

  • A

    The wave will refract into liquid away from normal

  • B

    The wave refract into liquid towards the normal

  • C

    The wave will reflect back into air

  • D

    none of these

A string of length $1\,\,m$ and linear mass density $0.01\,\,kgm^{-1}$ is stretched to a tension of $100\,\,N.$ When both ends of the string are fixed, the three lowest frequencies for standing wave are $f_1, f_2$ and $f_3$. When only one end of the string is fixed, the three lowest frequencies for standing wave are $n_1, n_2$ and $n_3$. Then
