The speed of mechanical waves depends on :-
A suspension bridge is to be built across valley where it is known that the wind can gust at $5\ s$ intervals. It is estimated that the speed of transverse waves along the span of the bridge would be $400\ m/s$. The danger of reasonant motions in the bridge at its fundamental frequency would be greater if the span had a length of :
A man generates a symmetrical pulse in a string by moving his hand up and down . At t = 0 the point in his hand moves downward. the pulse travels with speed of 3 m/s on the string & his hands passes 6 times in each second from the mean position. then the point on the string at a distance 3m will reach its upper extreme first time at times t =
String 1 has twice the length, twice the radius, twice the tension and twice the density of another string 2. The relation between their fundamental frequencies of 1 and 2 is:
In a reasonance tube experiment, a closed organ pipe of lenght $120$ cm is used. initially it is completely fiiled with water. It is vibrated with tuning fork of frequency $340$ Hz. To achieve reasonance the water level is lowered then (given ${V _{air}} = 340m/\sec $., neglect end correction):
A string of length $1m$ and linear mass density $0.01kgm^{-1}$ is stretched to a tension of $100N$. 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
A massless rod of length $l$ is hung from the ceiling with the help of two identical wires attached at its ends. A block is hung on the rod at a distance $x$ from the left end. In the case, the frequency of the $1st$ harmonic of the wire on the left end is equal to the frequency of the $2nd$ harmonic of the wire on the right. The value of $x$ is
First overtone frequency of a closed pipe of length $l _1$ is equal to the$^{2nd}$ Harmonic frequency of an open pipe of length $l _2$. The ratio $l _1 \, l _2.$
The fundamental frequency of a stretched string is $V _o$. If the length is reduced by $35$% and tension increased by $69$% the fundamental frequency will be
A closed organ pipe has a fundamental frequency of 1.5 kHz. The number of overtones that can be distinctly heard by a person with this organ pipe will be: (Assume that the highest frequency a person can hear is 20.000Hz)
