When a wave travels in a medium, the particle displacement is given by : $y = a\,\sin \,2\pi \left( {bt - cx} \right)$ where $a, b$ and $c$ are constants. The maximum particle velocity will be twice the wave velocity if
$c = \frac{1}{{\pi a}}$
$c = \pi a$
$b = ac$
$b = \frac{1}{{ac}}$
An engine approaches a hill with a constant speed. When it is at a distance of $0.9 km$ it blows a whistle, whose echo is heard by the driver after $5$ sec. If speed of sound in air is $330 m/s$, the speed of engine is .... $m/s$
Two tuning forks $A$ and $B$ produce $8\,beats/s$ when sounded together. $A$ gas column $37.5\,cm$ long in a pipe closed at one end resonate to its fundamental mode with fork $A$ whereas a column of length $38.5\,cm$ of the same gas in a similar pipe is required for resonance with fork $B$. The frequencies of these two tuning forks, are
A car $P$ approaching a crossing at a speed of $10\,m/s$ sounds a horn of frequency $700 \,Hz$ when $40\,m$ in front of the crossing. Speed of sound in air is $340\,m/s$. Another car $Q$ is at rest on a road which is perpendicular to the road on which car $P$ is reaching the crossing (see figure). The driver of car $Q$ hears the sound of the horn of car $P$ when he is $30\,m$ in front of the crossing. The apparent frequency heard by the driver of car $Q$ is ..... $Hz$
Waves of displacement amplitude $A$ and angular frequency $\omega $ travel in air with the same velocity. Which of the following waves has the highest intensity
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)
