A progressive wave is travelling in a medium such that frequency of oscillation and displacement amplitude of the particles of the medium are $$f$$ and $$A$$ respectively. The ratio of their acceleration amplitude and velocity amplitude is
The standard equation of transverse wave is
$$y = a\sin \left[ {\frac{{2\,\pi t}}{T} - \frac{{2\,\pi x}}{\lambda }} \right]\,......\left( {\text{i}} \right)$$
Given equation is
$$y = 4\sin \frac{\pi }{6}\sin \left( {15t - 3x} \right)\,......\left( {{\text{ii}}} \right)$$
Comparing Eq. (ii) with Eq. (i)
$$\eqalign{
& \frac{{2\,\pi }}{\lambda } = 3, \cr
& \therefore \lambda = \frac{{2\,\pi }}{\lambda }\,\,{\text{and}}\,\,\frac{{2\,\pi }}{T} = 15 \cr
& \therefore T = \frac{{2\,\pi }}{{15}} \cr} $$
$$\therefore $$ Speed of propagation wave, $$v = \frac{\lambda }{T} = \frac{{\frac{{2\pi }}{3}}}{{\frac{{2\pi }}{{15}}}} = 5$$

The apparent frequency heard by observer
$$\eqalign{
& {f_0} = {f_s}\left[ {\frac{v}{{v - {v_s}\cos {{60}^ \circ }}}} \right] \cr
& = 100\left[ {\frac{{330}}{{330 - 19.4 \times \frac{1}{2}}}} \right] \cr
& = 100\left[ {\frac{{330}}{{330 - 9.7}}} \right] \cr
& = 100\left[ {\frac{{330}}{{320.3}}} \right] \cr
& = 103.02\,Hz \cr} $$

Two factories are sounding their sirens at $$800\,Hz.$$ A man goes from one factory to other at a speed of $$2\,m/s.$$ The velocity of sound is $$320\,m/s.$$ The number of beats heard by the person in one second will be:
Frequency of sound produced by siren,
$$f = 800\,Hz$$
Speed of observer, $$u = 2\,m/s$$
Rigid support Velocity of sound, $$v = 320\,m/s$$
As we know No. of beats heard per second = ?
No. of extra waves received by the observer per second $$ = \pm 4\lambda $$
$$\eqalign{
& \therefore {\text{No}}{\text{.}}\,{\text{of}}\,{\text{beats}}/\sec \cr
& = \frac{2}{\lambda } - \left( { - \frac{2}{\lambda }} \right) = \frac{4}{\lambda } \cr
& = \frac{{2 \times 2}}{{\frac{{320}}{{800}}}} = \frac{{2 \times 2 \times 800}}{{320}} = 10\,\,\left( {\because \lambda = \frac{V}{f}} \right) \cr} $$

Two waves of wavelength $$50\,cm$$ and $$51\,cm$$ produce 12 beat/s. The speed of sound is
Beats produced due to the two frequencies is given by
$${n_1} - {n_2}$$
where, $${n_1}$$ and $${n_2}$$ are the frequencies of two waves.
Here, number of beats $$= 12/s$$
$$\eqalign{
& {\lambda _1} = 50\,cm = 0.50\,m \cr
& {\lambda _2} = 51\,cm = 0.51\,m \cr
& {n_1} - {n_2} = 12 \cr
& {\text{or}}\,\,\frac{v}{{{\lambda _1}}} - \frac{v}{{{\lambda _2}}} = 12\,\,\left[ {n = \frac{v}{\lambda }} \right] \cr
& {\text{or}}\,\,v\left( {\frac{{{\lambda _2} - {\lambda _1}}}{{{\lambda _1}{\lambda _2}}}} \right) = 12 \cr
& {\text{or}}\,\,v = \frac{{12{\lambda _1}{\lambda _2}}}{{{\lambda _2} - {\lambda _1}}} \cr
& \therefore v = {\text{speed of sound}} \cr
& = \frac{{12 \times 0.50 \times 0.51}}{{\left( {0.51 - 0.50} \right)}} \cr
& = \frac{{12 \times 0.50 \times 0.51}}{{0.01}} \cr
& = 306\,m/s \cr} $$
Thus, speed of sound is $$306\,m/s.$$

If the length of a stretched string is shortened by $$40\% $$ and the tension increased by $$44\% $$ then the ratio of the final and initial fundamental frequencies is

Two sound waves with wavelengths $$5\,m$$ and $$5.5\,m$$ respectively, each propagate in a gas with velocity $$330\,m/s.$$ We expect the following number of beat per second
Let $${\lambda _1} = 5.0\,m,v = 330\,m/s\,{\text{and}}\,{\lambda _2} = 5.5\,m$$
The relation between frequency $$\left( n \right),$$ wavelength $$\left( \lambda \right)$$ and velocity $$\left( v \right)$$ is given by
$$\eqalign{
& v = n\,\lambda \cr
& \Rightarrow n = \frac{v}{\lambda }\,......\left( {\text{i}} \right) \cr} $$
The frequency corresponding to wavelength $${\lambda _1},$$
$${n_1} = \frac{v}{{{\lambda _1}}} = \frac{{330}}{{5.0}} = 66\,\,Hz$$
The frequency corresponding to wavelength $${\lambda _2},$$
$${n_2} = \frac{v}{{{\lambda _2}}} = \frac{{330}}{{5.5}} = 60\,\,Hz$$
Hence, number of beats per second
$$ = {n_1} - {n_2} = 66 - 60 = 6$$
