Velocity of sound $$ = \sqrt {\frac{{\gamma RT}}{M}} $$
When water vapour are present in air, average molecular weight of air decreases and hence velocity increases.

Three sound waves of equal amplitudes have frequencies $$\left( {v - 1} \right),v,\left( {v + 1} \right).$$ They superpose to give beats. The number of beats produced per second will be :
Maximum number of beats
$$ = \left( {v + 1} \right) - \left( {v - 1} \right) = 2$$

In a sinusoidal wave, the time required for a particular point, to move from maximum displacement to zero displacement is $$0.170\,s.$$ The frequency of the wave is
If $$T$$ is the time period, then time required for a point to move from maximum displacement to zero displacement is $$\frac{T}{4}.$$
$$\eqalign{
& {\text{So,}}\,\,\frac{T}{4} = 0.170\,\,{\text{or}}\,\,T = 0.170 \times 4 \cr
& = 0.680\,s \cr} $$
Therefore, the frequency of wave is
$$n = \frac{1}{T} = \frac{1}{{0.680}} = 1.47\,Hz$$

From a wave equation
$$y = 0.5\sin \frac{{2\,\pi }}{{3.2}}\left( {64\,t - x} \right),$$
the frequency of the wave is
Standard equation of plane progressive harmonic wave is
$$y = a\sin \frac{{2\,\pi }}{\lambda }\left( {vt - x} \right)\,......\left( {\text{i}} \right)$$
Given equation is
$$y = 0.5\sin \frac{{2\,\pi }}{{3.2}}\left( {64\,t - x} \right)\,......\left( {{\text{ii}}} \right)$$
Comparing Eq. (ii) with Eq. (i)
$$\eqalign{
& v = 64\,\,{\text{and}}\,\,\lambda = 3.2 \cr
& \therefore {\text{Frequency }}\nu = \frac{v}{\lambda } = \frac{{64}}{{3.2}} \cr
& = 20\,Hz \cr} $$

If $${n_1},{n_2}$$ and $${n_3}$$ are the fundamental frequencies of three segments into which a string is divided, then the original fundamental frequency $$n$$ of the string is given by
A
$$\frac{1}{n} = \frac{1}{{{n_1}}} + \frac{1}{{{n_2}}} + \frac{1}{{{n_3}}}$$
B
$$\frac{1}{{\sqrt n }} = \frac{1}{{\sqrt {{n_1}} }} + \frac{1}{{\sqrt {{n_2}} }} + \frac{1}{{\sqrt {{n_3}} }}$$
C
$$\sqrt n = \sqrt {{n_1}} + \sqrt {{n_2}} + \sqrt {{n_3}} $$
In this problem, the fundamental frequencies of each part could be find. The fundamental frequency of the complete wire could be find. One should check each option for the given values.
For Ist part, $${n_1} = \frac{v}{{2{l_1}}} \Rightarrow {l_1} = \frac{v}{{2{n_1}}}$$
For IInd part, $${n_2} = \frac{v}{{2{l_2}}} \Rightarrow {l_2} = \frac{v}{{2{n_2}}}$$
For IIIrd part, $${n_3} = \frac{v}{{2{l_3}}} \Rightarrow {l_3} = \frac{v}{{2{n_3}}}$$
For the complete wire, $$n = \frac{v}{{2l}} \Rightarrow l = \frac{v}{{2n}}$$
We have, $$l = {l_1} + {l_2} + {l_3}$$
$$\eqalign{
& \frac{v}{{2n}} = \frac{v}{{2{n_1}}} + \frac{v}{{2{n_2}}} + \frac{v}{{2{n_3}}} \cr
& \frac{1}{n} = \frac{1}{{{n_1}}} + \frac{1}{{{n_2}}} + \frac{1}{{{n_3}}} \cr} $$

The equation of a wave on a string of linear mass density $$0.04\,kg\,{m^{ - 1}}$$ is given by
$$y = 0.02\left( m \right)\sin \left[ {2\pi \left( {\frac{t}{{0.04\left( s \right)}} - \frac{x}{{0.50\left( m \right)}}} \right)} \right]$$

A pipe of length $${\ell _1},$$ closed at one end is kept in a chamber of gas of density $${\rho _1}.$$ A second pipe open at both ends is placed in a second chamber of gas of density $${\rho _2}.$$ The compressibility of both the gases is equal. Calculate the length of the second pipe if frequency of first overtone in both the cases is equal
A
$$\frac{4}{3}{\ell _1}\sqrt {\frac{{{\rho _2}}}{{{\rho _1}}}} $$
B
$$\frac{4}{3}{\ell _1}\sqrt {\frac{{{\rho _1}}}{{{\rho _2}}}} $$
C
$${\ell _1}\sqrt {\frac{{{\rho _2}}}{{{\rho _1}}}} $$
D
$${\ell _1}\sqrt {\frac{{{\rho _1}}}{{{\rho _2}}}} $$
Frequency of first overtone in closed pipe,
$$v = \frac{{3v}}{{4{\ell _1}}}\sqrt {\frac{P}{{{\rho _1}}}} \,......\left( {\text{i}} \right)$$
Frequency of first overtone in open pipe,
$$v' = \frac{1}{{{\ell _2}}}\sqrt {\frac{P}{{{\rho _2}}}} \,......\left( {{\text{ii}}} \right)$$
From equation (i) and (ii)
$$ \Rightarrow {\ell _2} = \frac{4}{3}{\ell _1}\sqrt {\frac{{{\rho _1}}}{{{\rho _2}}}} $$

The extension in a string, obeying Hooke’s law, is $$x.$$ The speed of sound in the stretched string is $$v.$$ If the extension in the string is increased to $$1.5x,$$ the speed of sound will be
According to Hooke's law $${F_R} \propto x$$
[Restoring force $${F_R} = T,$$ tension of spring]
Velocity of sound by a stretched string $$v = \sqrt {\frac{T}{m}} $$ where $$m$$ is the mass per unit length
$$\eqalign{
& {\text{Hence}}\,\,v \propto \sqrt T \,\,{\text{or,}}\,\,\frac{v}{{v'}} = \sqrt {\frac{T}{{T'}}} \cr
& {\text{or}}\,\,v' = v\sqrt {\frac{{T'}}{T}} = v\sqrt {\frac{{1.5x}}{x}} = 1.22\,v \cr} $$
