If wind blows from a stationary sounding object to a stationary listener, then the apparent frequency $$n'$$ and actual frequency $$n$$ are related as
From purely theoretical considerations, Newton came to the conclusion that velocity of longitudinal waves through any medium; solid, liquid or gas depends upon the elasticity and density of the medium. Newton gave the formula
$$v = \sqrt {\left( {\frac{E}{\rho }} \right)} $$
where
$$v =$$ velocity of sound in the medium
$$E =$$ coefficient of elasticity in the medium
$$\rho = $$ density of the (undisturbed) medium

The number of possible natural oscillation of air column in a pipe closed at one end of length $$85\,cm$$ whose frequencies lie below $$1250\,Hz$$ are: (velocity of sound $$ = 340\,m{s^{ - 1}}$$ )
In case of closed organ pipe frequency,
$$\eqalign{
& {f_n} = \left( {2n + 1} \right)\frac{v}{{4l}} \cr
& {\text{for}} \cr
& n = 0,{f_0} = 100\,Hz \cr
& n = 1,{f_1} = 300\,Hz \cr
& n = 2,{f_2} = 500\,Hz \cr
& n = 3,{f_3} = 700\,Hz \cr
& n = 4,{f_4} = 900\,Hz \cr
& n = 5,{f_5} = 1100\,Hz \cr
& n = 6,{f_6} = 1300\,Hz \cr} $$
Hence possible natural oscillation whose frequencies $$ < 1250\,Hz = 6\left( {n = 0,1,2,3,4,5} \right)$$

Three sound waves of equal amplitudes have frequencies $$\left( {n - 1} \right),n,\left( {n + 1} \right).$$ They superimpose to give beats. The number of beats produced per second will be
As we know that
Beat frequency $$ = {f_1} \sim {f_2} = n - \left( {n - 1} \right) = 1$$
and similarly for $$n$$ and $$n + 1$$
Beat frequency $$= n + 1 - n = 1$$

A pulse of a wave train travels along a stretched string and reaches the fixed end of the string. It will be reflected back with
A
a phase change of $${180^ \circ }$$ with velocity reversed
B
the same phase as the incident pulse with no reversal of velocity
C
a phase change of $${180^ \circ }$$ with no reversal of velocity
D
the same phase as the incident pulse but with velocity reversed
Answer :
a phase change of $${180^ \circ }$$ with velocity reversed
A pulse of a wave train when travels along a stretched string and reaches the fixed end of the string, then it will be reflected back to the same medium and the reflected ray suffers a phase change of $$\pi $$ with the incident wave and wave velocity after reflection will reverse.

Tube $$A$$ has both ends open while tube $$B$$ has one end closed, otherwise they are identical. The ratio of fundamental frequency of tube $$A$$ and $$B$$ is
KEY CONCEPT : The fundamental frequency for closed organ pipe is given by $${{\upsilon _c}} = \frac{v}{{4\,\ell }}$$ and
For open organ pipe is given by $${{\upsilon _0}} = \frac{v}{{2\,\ell }}$$
$$\therefore \frac{{{\upsilon _0}}}{{{\upsilon _c}}} = \frac{v}{{2\,\ell }} \times \frac{{4\,\ell }}{v} = \frac{2}{1}$$

A parachutist jumps from the top of a very high tower with a siren of frequency $$800\,Hz$$ on his back. Assume his initial velocity to be zero. After falling freely for $$12s,$$ he observes that the frequency of sound heard by him reflected from level ground below him is differing by $$700\,Hz$$ w.r.t. the original frequency. What was the height of tower. Velocity of sound in air is $$330\,m/s,$$ and $$g = 10\,m/{s^2}.$$
Let the sound observed by the parachutist at $${t_0} = 12s$$ be produced at $${t_1}s.$$ Velocity of source at the instant of sound $$ = g{t_1}$$ and velocity of observer at the instant of observing same sound $$ = g{t_0}.$$ Hence the relation between apparent frequency $$f'$$ and original frequency $$f$$ will be $$f' = f\left( {\frac{{v + g{t_0}}}{{v - g{t_1}}}} \right).$$
$${\text{Here}}\,f = 800\,Hz,g = 10\,m/{s^2},$$
$$\eqalign{
& v = 330\,m/s,\,{t_0} = 12s\,{\text{and}} \cr
& f' = 800 + 700 = 1500\,Hz \cr} $$
Putting these, we get, $${t_1} = 9s$$
Now the distance travelled by sound in $$\left( {{t_0} - {t_1}} \right)\sec $$ is
$$v\left( {{t_0} - {t_1}} \right) = \left( {h - \frac{1}{2}gt_0^2} \right) + \left( {h - \frac{1}{2}gt_1^2} \right)$$
Putting the values, we get, $$h = 1057.5\,m.$$

In the experiment for the determination of the speed of sound in air using the resonance column method, the length of the air column that resonates in the fundamental mode, with a tuning fork is $$0.1\,m.$$ When this length is changed to $$0.35\,m,$$ the same tuning fork resonates with the first overtone. Calculate the end correction.
Frequency does not depend upon radius. As length is doubled, fundamental frequency becomes half.

A student is performing the experiment of resonance column. The diameter of the column tube is $$4\,cm.$$ The frequency of the tuning fork is $$512\,Hz.$$ The air temperature is $${38^ \circ }C$$ in which the speed of sound is $$336\,m/s.$$ The zero of the meter scale coincides with the top end of the resonance column tube. When the first resonance occurs, the reading of the water level in the column is
