A motor cycle starts from rest and accelerates along a straight path at $$2\,m/{s^2}.$$ At the starting point of the motor cycle there is a stationary electric siren. How far has the motor cycle gone when the driver hears the frequency of the siren at $$94\% $$ of its value when the motor cycle was at rest? (Speed of sound = $$330\,m{s^{ - 1}}$$ )
$$\eqalign{
& v_m^2 - {u^2} = 2\,as \cr
& \Rightarrow \,\,v_m^2 = 2 \times 2 \times s \cr
& \therefore \,\,{v_m} = 2\sqrt s \cr} $$
According to Doppler’s effect
$$\eqalign{
& 0.94\,v = v\left[ {\frac{{330 - 2\sqrt s }}{{330}}} \right] \cr
& \Rightarrow \,\,s = 98.01\,m \cr} $$

A train is moving on a straight track with speed $$20\,m{s^{ - 1}}.$$ It is blowing its whistle at the frequency of $$1000\,Hz.$$ The
percentage change in the frequency heard by a person standing near the track as the train passes him is (speed of sound = $$320\,m{s^{ - 1}}$$ ) close to:
As shown in the figure, the fringes of the tuning fork are kept in a vertical plane.

A source of sound attached to the bob of a simple pendulum execute $$SHM.$$ The difference between the apparent frequency of sound as received by an observer during its approach and recession at the mean position of the $$SHM$$ motion is $$2\% $$ of the natural frequency of the source. The velocity of the source at the mean position is (velocity of sound in the air is $$340\,m/s$$ )
[Assume velocity of sound source << velocity of sound in air]

The transverse displacement $$y (x, t)$$ of a wave on a string is given by $$y\left( {x,t} \right) = {e^{ - \left( {a{x^2} + b{t^2} + 2\sqrt {\left. {ab} \right)} xt} \right)}}.$$ This represents $$a$$:
A
wave moving in $$- x$$ direction with speed $$\sqrt {\frac{b}{a}} $$
B
standing wave of frequency $${\sqrt b }$$
C
standing wave of frequency $$\frac{1}{{\sqrt b }}$$
D
wave moving in $$+ x$$ direction speed $$\sqrt {\frac{a}{b}} $$
Answer :
wave moving in $$- x$$ direction with speed $$\sqrt {\frac{b}{a}} $$
Given wave equation is $$y\left( {x,t} \right) = {e^{\left( { - a{x^2} + b{t^2} + 2\sqrt {ab} \,xt} \right)}}$$
$$\eqalign{
& = {e^{ - \left[ {{{\left( {\sqrt {ax} } \right)}^2} + {{\left( {\sqrt {bt} } \right)}^2} + 2\sqrt a \,x.\sqrt b \,t} \right]}} \cr
& = {e^{ - {{\left( {\sqrt a \,x + \sqrt b \,t} \right)}^2}}} \cr
& = {e^{ - {{\left( {x + \sqrt {\frac{b}{a}} t} \right)}^2}}} \cr} $$
It is a function of type $$y = f\left( {x + vt} \right)$$
⇒ Speed of wave $$ = \sqrt {\frac{b}{a}} $$

Equation of progressive wave is given by
$$y = 4\sin \left[ {\pi \left( {\frac{t}{5} - \frac{x}{9}} \right) + \frac{\pi }{6}} \right]$$
Then, which of the following is correct ?
Equation of plane progressive simple harmonic wave is
$$y = a\sin \left[ {2\pi \left( {\frac{t}{T} - \frac{x}{\lambda }} \right) + \phi } \right]\,......\left( {\text{i}} \right)$$
The given equation is
$$y = 4\sin \left[ {\pi \left( {\frac{t}{5} - \frac{x}{9}} \right) + \frac{\pi }{6}} \right]$$
Multiplying and dividing $$\left( {\frac{t}{T} - \frac{x}{\lambda }} \right)\,{\text{by}}\,2.$$
It is written as,
$$y = 4\sin \left[ {2\pi \left( {\frac{t}{{10}} - \frac{x}{{18}}} \right) + \frac{\pi }{6}} \right]\,......\left( {{\text{ii}}} \right)$$
Comparing Eqs. (i) and (ii), we find
$$\eqalign{
& a = 4\,cm,\,\,T = 10\,s,\,\,\lambda = 18\,cm \cr
& {\text{and}}\,\,\phi = \frac{\pi }{6} \cr} $$
Hence option (B) is correct.

A wave enters to water from air. In air frequency, wavelength, intensity and velocity are $${n_1},{\lambda _1},{I_1}$$ and $${v_1}$$ respectively. In water the corresponding quantities are $${n_2},{\lambda _2},{I_2}$$ and $${v_2}$$ respectively, then
When a wave enters from one medium to another, its frequency remains unchanged, i.e. $${n_1} = {n_2}$$ but wavelength, intensity and velocity get changed.

When a sound wave of frequency $$300\,Hz$$ passes through a medium, the maximum displacement of a particle of the medium is $$0.1\,cm.$$ The maximum velocity of the particle is equal to

The second overtone of an open organ pipe has the same frequency as the first overtone of a closed pipe $$L$$ metre long. The length of the open pipe will be
For an open organ pipe,
$${\nu _n} = \frac{n}{{2L}}v,\,\,{\text{where}}\,n = 1,2,3,\,.....$$
For second overtons $$n = 3,{v_{{2_O}}} = \frac{3}{{2{L_1}}}v$$
$${L_1} = $$ length of open organ pipe
For closed organ pipe $${\nu _n} = \left( {\frac{{2n + 1}}{{4L}}} \right)v\,......\left( {\text{i}} \right)$$
where, $$n = 0,1,2,3,\,.....$$
1st overtone for closed organ pipe, $$n = 1$$
$$\eqalign{
& {\nu _{{1_C}}} = \frac{3}{{4L}}v\,......\left( {{\text{ii}}} \right) \cr
& \because {\nu _{{2_O}}} = {\nu _{{1_C}}} \Rightarrow \frac{{3v}}{{2{L_1}}} = \frac{3}{{4L}}v \cr
& \Rightarrow {L_1} = 2L \cr} $$
