When two sound waves travel in the same direction in a medium, the displacements of a particle located at $$'x'$$ at time $$'t'$$ is given by :
$$\eqalign{
& {y_1} = 0.05\,\cos \left( {0.50\,\pi x - 100\,\pi t} \right) \cr
& {y_2} = 0.05\,\cos \left( {0.46\,\pi x - 92\,\pi t} \right) \cr} $$
where $${y_1},{y_2}$$ and $$x$$ are in meters and $$t$$ in seconds.
The speed of sound in the medium is :
Equation of harmonic wave in cosine function is
\[y = a\cos \left( {2\,\pi \,vt + \phi } \right)\,.......\left( {\text{i}} \right)\,\,\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
{{\text{where,}}\,\,a = {\text{amplitude}}} \\
{\nu = \,{\text{frequency}}} \\
{{\text{and}}\,\phi = {\text{phase}}}
\end{array}} \right]\]
Given equation is $$ = 0.40\cos \left( {2000t + 0.80} \right)\,......\left( {{\text{ii}}} \right)$$
Comparing this equation with Eq. (i) $$\eqalign{
& 2\,\pi \nu = 2000 \cr
& \therefore \nu = \frac{{2000}}{{2\,\pi }} = \frac{{1000}}{\pi }Hz \cr} $$

A train moves towards a stationary observer with speed $$34\,m/s.$$ The train sounds a whistle and its frequency registered by the observer is $${{f_1}}.$$ If the train's speed is reduced to $$17\,m/s,$$ the frequency registered is $${{f_2}}.$$ If the speed of sound is $$340\,m/s,$$ then the ratio $$\frac{{{f_1}}}{{{f_2}}}$$ is

A whistle producing sound waves of frequencies $$9500\,Hz$$ and above is approaching a stationary person with speed $$v$$ $$m{s^{ - 1}}.$$ The velocity of sound in air is $$300\,m{s^{ - 1}}.$$ If the person can hear frequencies upto a maximum of $$10,000\,Hz,$$ the maximum value of $$v$$ upto which he can hear whistle is

Two identical piano wires kept under the same tension $$T$$ have a fundamental frequency of $$600\,Hz.$$ The fractional increase in the tension of one of the wires which will lead to occurrence of 6 beats/s when both the wires oscillate together would be
For fundamental mode,
$$f = \frac{1}{{2\ell }}\sqrt {\frac{T}{\mu }} $$
Taking logarithm on both sides, we get
$$\eqalign{
& \log f = \log \left( {\frac{1}{{2\ell }}} \right) + \log \left( {\sqrt {\frac{T}{\mu }} } \right) \cr
& = \log \left( {\frac{1}{{2\ell }}} \right) + \frac{1}{2}\log \left( {\frac{T}{\mu }} \right) \cr
& {\text{or}}\,\,\log f = \log \left( {\frac{1}{{2\ell }}} \right) + \frac{1}{2}\left[ {\log T - \log \mu } \right] \cr} $$
Differentiating both sides, we get
$$\eqalign{
& \frac{{df}}{f} = \frac{1}{2}\frac{{dT}}{T}\,\,\left( {{\text{as}}\,\ell \,{\text{and}}\,\mu \,{\text{are}}\,{\text{constants}}} \right) \cr
& \Rightarrow \frac{{dT}}{T} = 2 \times \frac{{df}}{f} \cr
& {\text{Here}}\,\,df = 6 \cr
& f = 600\,Hz \cr
& \therefore \frac{{dT}}{T} = \frac{{2 \times 6}}{{600}} = 0.02 \cr} $$

In the figure shown a source of sound of frequency $$510\,Hz$$ moves with constant velocity $${v_s} = 20\,m/s$$ in the direction shown. The wind is blowing at a constant velocity $${v_w} = 20\,m/s$$ towards an observer who is at rest at point $$B.$$ Corresponding to the sound emitted by the source at initial position $$A,$$ the frequency detected by the observer is equal to (speed of sound relative to air $$= 330\,m/s$$ )

A uniform rope of length $$L$$ and mass $${m_1}$$ hangs vertically from a rigid support. A block of mass $${m_2}$$ is attached to the free end of the rope. A transverse pulse of wavelength $${\lambda _1}$$ is produced at the lower end of the rope. The wavelength of the pulse when it reaches the top of the rope is $${\lambda _2}.$$ The ration $$\frac{{{\lambda _2}}}{{{\lambda _1}}}$$
According to question, we have
Wavelength of transphase pulse
$$\lambda = \frac{v}{f}\,......\left( {\text{i}} \right)\,\left( {v = {\text{velocity of the wave}};\,f = {\text{frequency of the wave}}} \right)$$
As we know
$$v = \sqrt {\frac{T}{\mu }} \,......\left( {{\text{ii}}} \right)\,\left( {T = {\text{tension in the spring}};\,\mu = {\text{mass per unit length of the rope}}} \right)$$
From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get
$$\lambda = \frac{1}{f}\sqrt {\frac{T}{\mu }} \Rightarrow \lambda \propto \sqrt T $$
So, for two different case, we get
$$\frac{{{\lambda _2}}}{{{\lambda _1}}} = \sqrt {\frac{{{T_2}}}{{{T_1}}}} = \sqrt {\frac{{{m_1} + {m_2}}}{{{m_2}}}} $$

A transverse wave is represented by $$y = A\sin \left( {\omega t - kx} \right).$$ For what value of the wavelength is the wave velocity equal to the maximum particle velocity?
$${\text{Given,}}\,\,y = A\sin \left( {\omega t - kx} \right)$$
As we know that wave velocity is given by
$${v_w} = \frac{\lambda }{T} = \frac{{\omega \lambda }}{{2\pi }}\,......\left( {\text{i}} \right)\,\,\left[ {T = \frac{{2\pi }}{\omega }} \right]$$
and maximum particle velocity is given by
\[{v_\rho } = A\omega \,......\left( {{\text{ii}}} \right)\,\,\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
{A = {\text{amplitude}}} \\
{\omega = {\text{angular frequency}}}
\end{array}} \right]\]
So, as Eq. (i) is equal to Eq. (ii),
$$A\omega = \frac{{\omega \lambda }}{{2\pi }},\,\lambda = 2\,\pi A$$

A tuning fork arrangement (pair) produces 4 beats/sec with one fork of frequency $$288\,cps.$$ A little wax is placed on the unknown fork and it then produces 2 beats/sec. The frequency of the unknown fork is
A tuning fork produces 4 beats/sec with another tuning fork of frequency $$288\,cps.$$ From this information we can conclude that the frequency of unknown fork is $$288 + 4$$ cps or $$288 - 4$$ cps i.e., $$292\,cps$$ or $$284\,cps.$$ When a little wax is placed on the unknown fork, it produces 2 beats/sec. When a little wax is placed on the unknown fork, its frequency decreases and simultaneously the beat frequency decreases confirming that the frequency of the unknown fork is $$292\, cps.$$
