An organ pipe $${P_1}$$ closed at one end vibrating in its first overtone and another pipe $${P_2}$$ open at both ends vibrating in third overtone are in resonance with a given tuning fork. The ratio of the length of $${P_1}$$ to that of $${P_2}$$ is

The ends of a stretched wire of length $$L$$ are fixed at $$x = 0$$ and $$x = L.$$ In one experiment, the displacement of the wire is $${y_1} = A\sin \left( {\frac{{\pi\, x}}{L}} \right)\sin \omega\, t$$ and energy is $${{E_1}}$$ and in another experiment its displacement is $${y_2} = A\sin \left( {\frac{{2\,\pi x}}{L}} \right)\sin 2\,\omega\, t$$ and energy is $${{E_2}}.$$ Then
$$E \propto {A^2}{\nu ^2}$$ where $$A$$ = amplitude and $$\nu $$ = frequency.
Also, $$\omega = 2\pi \nu $$
$$ \Rightarrow \,\,\omega \propto \nu $$ In case 1: Amplitude = $$A$$ and $${\nu _1} = \nu $$ In case 2 : Amplitude = $$A$$ and $${\nu _2} = 2\nu $$
$$\eqalign{
& \therefore \,\,\frac{{{E_2}}}{{{E_1}}} = \frac{{{A^2}\nu _2^2}}{{{A^2}\nu _1^2}} = 4 \cr
& \Rightarrow \,\,{E_2} = 4{E_1} \cr} $$

A speeding motorcyclist sees traffic jam ahead of him. He slows down to $$36\,km/h.$$ He finds that traffic has eased and a car moving ahead of him at $$18\,km/h$$ is honking at a frequency of $$1392\,Hz.$$ If the speed of sound is $$343\,m/s,$$ the frequency of the honk as heard by him will be
⇒ As both observer and source are moving, we can use the formula of apparent frequency as
$$f = {f_0}\left( {\frac{{v + {v_0}}}{{v + {v_s}}}} \right) = 1392\left[ {\frac{{343 + 10}}{{343 + 5}}} \right]$$
\[\left[ \begin{gathered}
\because {v_0} = 36\,km/h = 10\,m/s\,{\text{and}} \hfill \\
\,\,\,\,{v_s} = 18\,km/h = 5\,m/s \hfill \\
\end{gathered} \right]\]
$$ = 1392\left[ {\frac{{353}}{{348}}} \right] = 1412\,Hz$$

A wave represented by the equation $$y = a\cos \left( {k\,x - \omega t} \right)$$ is superposed with another wave to form a stationary wave such that point $$x = 0$$ is a node. The equation for the other wave is
NOTE : Stationary wave is produced when two waves travel in opposite direction.
Now, $$y = a\cos \left( {k\,x - \omega t} \right) - a\cos \left( {k\,x + \omega t} \right)$$
$$\therefore \,\,y = 2\,a\sin k\,x\sin \omega t$$ is equation of stationary wave
which gives a node at $$x = 0.$$

Two strings $$A$$ and $$B,$$ made of same material, are stretched by same tension. The radius of string $$A$$ is double of radius of $$B.$$ A transverse wave travels on $$A$$ with speed $${v_A}$$ and on $$B$$ with speed $${v_B}.$$ The ratio $$\frac{{{v_A}}}{{{v_B}}}$$ is

The phase difference between two waves, represented by
$$\eqalign{

& {y_2} = {10^{ - 6}}\cos \left\{ {100\,t + \left( {\frac{x}{{50}}} \right)} \right\}m, \cr} $$
where, $$x$$ is expressed in metre and $$t$$ is expressed in second, is approximately
The presence of water vapours in air changes its density. That is why the velocity of sound changes with humidity of air.
Suppose,
$${\rho _m} = $$ density of moist air
$${\rho _d} = $$ density of dry air
$${v_m} = $$ velocity of sound in moist air
$${v_d} = $$ velocity of sound in dry air
Assuming that effect of humidity on $$\gamma $$ is negligible.
As velocity of wave in a medium is given by
\[\therefore {v_m} = \sqrt {\frac{{\gamma p}}{{{\rho _m}}}} \,\,\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
{\gamma = {\text{elasticity of medium}}} \\
{{\rho _m} = {\text{density of medium}}} \\
{p = {\text{pressure of sound waves}}}
\end{array}} \right]\]
$$\eqalign{
& {\text{and}}\,\,{v_d} = \sqrt {\frac{{\gamma p}}{{{\rho _d}}}} \cr
& {\text{Dividing, we get }}\frac{{{v_m}}}{{{v_d}}} = \sqrt {\frac{{{\rho _d}}}{{{\rho _m}}}} \cr} $$
The presence of water vapours reduces the density of air.
$${\text{i}}{\text{.e}}{\text{.}}\,{\rho _m} < {\rho _d}$$
Hence, velocity of sound in moist air is greater, then the velocity of sound in dry air.
