A wave has $$SHM$$ (simple harmonic motion) whose period is $$4\,s$$ while another wave which also possesses $$SHM$$ has its period $$3\,s.$$ If both are combined, then the resultant wave will have the period equal to
To calculate the time period of combined oscillation, calculate the beat produced from the given frequencies.
When both waves are combined, then beats are produced. Frequency of beats will be $$ = {v_1} - {v_2}$$
$$ = \frac{1}{{{T_1}}} - \frac{1}{{{T_2}}} = \frac{1}{3} - \frac{1}{4} = \frac{1}{{12}}$$
Hence, time period $$= 12\,s$$
142.
In the figure shown the wave speed is $$v.$$ The velocity of car is $${v_0}.$$ The beat frequency for the observer will be
$${\text{ }}{f_2} = \frac{{{f_0}v}}{{v + {v_0}}}$$
The wave which reaches wall $${f_1}$$ is reflected.
$${f_1} = \frac{{{f_0}v}}{{v - {v_0}}}$$
The reflected frequency is $${f_1}$$ as the wall is at rest.
$${\text{Beats}} = {f_1} - {f_2} = \frac{{{f_0}v}}{{v - {v_0}}} - \frac{{{f_0}v}}{{v + {v_0}}} = \frac{{2{f_0}v{v_0}}}{{{v^2} - v_0^2}}$$

The displacement $$y$$ of a particle in a medium can be expressed as, $$y = {10^{ - 6}}\sin \left( {100\,t + 20\,x + \frac{\pi }{4}} \right)m$$ where $$t$$ is in second and $$x$$ in meter. The speed of the wave is

A pipe of length $$85\,cm$$ is closed from one end. Find the number of possible natural oscillations of air column in the pipe whose frequencies lie below $$1250\,Hz.$$ The velocity of sound in air is $$340\,m/s.$$
Length of pipe $$= 85\,cm = 0.85\,m$$
Frequency of oscillations of air column in closed organ pipe is given by,
$$\eqalign{
& f = \frac{{\left( {2\,n - 1} \right)\upsilon }}{{4L}} \cr
& f = \frac{{\left( {2\,n - 1} \right)\upsilon }}{{4L}} \leqslant 1250 \cr
& \Rightarrow \,\,\frac{{\left( {2\,n - 1} \right) \times 340}}{{0.85 \times 4}} \leqslant 1250 \cr
& \Rightarrow \,\,2n - 1 \leqslant 12.5 \approx 6 \cr} $$

A pipe open at both ends has a fundamental frequency $$f$$ in air. The pipe is dipped vertically in water so that half of it is in water. The fundamental frequency of the air column is now:
The fundamental frequency in case (a) is $$f = \frac{v}{{2\,\ell }}$$
The fundamental frequency in case (b) is
$$f' = \frac{v}{{4\left( {\frac{\ell }{2}} \right)}} = \frac{u}{{2\,\ell }} = f$$

A metal wire of linear mass density of $$9.8\,g/m$$ is stretched with a tension of $$10\,kg-wt$$ between two rigid supports 1 metre apart. The wire passes at its middle point between the poles of a permanent magnet, and it vibrates in resonance when carrying an alternating current of frequency $$n.$$ The frequency $$n$$ of the alternating source is
KEY CONCEPT : For a string vibrating between two
rigid support, the fundamental frequency is given by
$$\eqalign{
& n = \frac{1}{{2\,\ell }}\sqrt {\frac{T}{\mu }} \cr
& = \frac{1}{{2 \times 1}}\sqrt {\frac{{10 \times 9.8}}{{9.8 \times {{10}^{ - 3}}}}} \cr
& = 50\,Hz \cr} $$
As the string is vibrating in resonance to a.c of
frequency $$n,$$ therefore both the frequencies are same.

An open pipe is suddenly closed at one end with the result that the frequency of third harmonic of the closed pipe is found to be higher by $$100\,Hz$$ than the fundamental frequency of the open pipe. The fundamental frequency of the open pipe is
For both end open
$$\eqalign{
& \frac{{2{\lambda _1}}}{4} = \ell \cr
& \Rightarrow \,\,{\lambda _1} = 2\ell \cr
& {\nu _1} = \frac{c}{{{\lambda _1}}} = \frac{c}{{2\ell }}\,\,\,.....\left( {\text{i}} \right) \cr} $$ For one end closed
For third harmonic $$\frac{{3\,{\lambda _2}}}{4} = \ell $$
$$\eqalign{
& \Rightarrow \,\,{\lambda _2} = \frac{{4\ell }}{3} \cr
& {\nu _2} = \frac{c}{{{\lambda _2}}} = \frac{{3c}}{{4\ell }}\,\,\,.....\left( {{\text{ii}}} \right) \cr} $$
Given $${\nu _2} - {\nu _1} = 100$$
From (i) and (ii)
$$\frac{{{\nu _2}}}{{{\nu _1}}} = \frac{{\frac{3}{4}}}{{\frac{1}{2}}} = \frac{3}{2}$$
On solving, we get $${\nu _1} = 200Hz.$$

When two tuning forks (fork 1 and fork 2) are sounded simultaneously, 4 beats per second are heard. Now, some tape is attached on the prong of the fork 2. When the tuning forks are sounded again, 6 beats per second are heard. If the frequency of fork 1 is $$200\,Hz,$$ then what was the original frequency of fork 2?
No. of beats heard when fork 2 is sounded with fork $$1 = \Delta n = 4$$
Now we know that if on loading (attaching tape) an unknown fork, the beat frequency increases (from 4 to 6 in this case) then the frequency of the unknown fork 2 is given by,
$$\eqalign{
& n = {n_0} - \Delta n \cr
& = 200 - 4 \cr
& = 196\,Hz \cr} $$
