    p1 =po sin 2π(x- 1)t
    p2 =po sin 2π(x)t
    p3 =po sin 2π(x+ 1)t
    p=p1+p3+p2
    =posin2π(x-1)t +po sin 2π(x+1)t +po sin 2π(x)t
    = 2posin2πxtcos2πt +posin2πxt
    = 2posin2πxt[2cos πt +1]
    ⇒ fbeat = 2

    Question 6
    CBSEENPH11020487

    The displacement y of a particle in a medium can be expressed as y = 10−6 sin(110t + 20 x + π/4) m, where t is in seconds and x in a meter. The speed of the wave is

    • 2000 m/s

    • 5 m/s

    • 20 m/s

    • 5π m/s

    Solution

    Question 8
    CBSEENPH11020873

    Two soap bubbles coalesce. It is noticed that whilst joined together, the raddii of the bubbles are a and b where a>b. Then the radius of curvature of the interface between the two bubbles will be

    • a-b

    • a+b

    • ab/(a-b)

    • ab/(a+b)

    Solution

    C.

    ab/(a-b)

    According to given figure,

    Let the radius of curvature of the common  internal film surface of the double formed by two bubbles be r. Excess of pressure as compared to the atmosphere inside A is (4T/a). In a double bubble, the pressure difference between A and B on either side of the common surface.

     = 4Tb = 4TaThis will be equal to (4T/r) 4Tr = 4Tb -4Taor1r = 1b - 1a = a-bbaor  r = aba-b

    Question 9
    CBSEENPH11026118

    A particle is executing the motion x = αcos(ωt-θ).The velocity of the particle is

    • αω cosθ

    • αω

    • αω sinθ

    • None of the above

    Solution

    B.

    αω

    Given equation is x = α cos (ωt-θ)

    So velocity dxdt =α ωsinωt-θat ωt-θ =90o,the velocity will be maximum, therefore the maximum v velocity isν = αω

    Question 10
    CBSEENPH11026119

     A particle is executing two different simple harmonic motions, mutually perpendicular, of different amplitudes and having phase difference of π2 The path of the particle will be

    • circular

    Question 11
    CBSEENPH11026121

    A closed argon pipe and an open argon pipe are tuned to the same fundamental frequency. What is the ratio of their lengths?

    • 1:2

    • 2:1

    • 2:3

    • 4:3

    Solution

    A.

    1:2

    The fundamental (first harmonic) for an open-end pipe needs to be an antinode

    at both ends, since the air can move at both ends. The lowest frequency is called the 

    fundamental frequency or the 1st harmonic. The higher frequencies are called overtones.

    Avoiding end correction, the length of the closed organ pipe is

    l1 =λ14 or  λ1 =4 l1The length of open organ pipe isl2=λ22 or λ2 =2 l2here, n1= n2so vλ1 =νλ2 or ν4 l1=ν2 l 2Therefore,  l1:l2 = 1:2

    Question 12
    CBSEENPH11026135

    There are 26 tuning forks arranged in the decreasing order of their frequencies. Each tuning fork gives 3 beats with the next. The first one is octave of the last. What is the frequency of 18th tuning fork?

    • 100 Hz

    • 99 Hz

    • 96 Hz

    • 103 Hz

    Solution

    B.

    99 Hz

    Each tuning forck gives 3 beats with the next, so the difference in the frequencies of two consecutive forks is 3.

    f26 =f1 +n-1 × -3 f = 2f +26 - 1× -3f = 75 Hz Frequency of the 18 th tunning forkf18 =f1 + 18 - 1×  -3     =2  ×  75  + 17  × -3f  =150 - 51    =99 Hz

    Question 13
    CBSEENPH11026140

    A person is observing two trains one coming towards him and other leaving with the same
    velocity 4 m/s. If their whistling frequencies are 240 Hz each, then the number of beats per second heard  by the person will be : ( if velocity of sound 320 m/s)

    • 3

    • 6

    • 9

    • zero

    Solution

    B.

    6

    Observed frequency of first train

    n1 =νν - νs× n      =320320 - 4× 240     =320316 × 240     =243 Hz

    Observed frequency of second train

    n2 = νν - νs   = 320320 -4× 240    = 320216× 240   = 237 hz Number of beats = 243 - 237  Number of beats  = 6

    Question 14
    CBSEENPH11026152

    A point source emits sound equally in all directions in a non-absorbing medium. Two points P and Q are at distance of 2m and 3m respectively from the source. The ratio of the intensities of the waves at P and Q is

    • 9:4

    • 2:3

    • 3:2

    • 4:9

    Solution

    A.

    9:4

    The average power per unit area that is incident perpendicular to the direction of propagation is called the intensity.

    Intensity of sound

    I = P4πr2 i 1r2                   intensity 1distance2I1I2 = r1r22Here r1 = 2m, r2 = 3m

    Substiting the values, we have

    I1I2 =322 =94

    Question 15
    CBSEENPH11026164

    Two vibrating tuning forks produce progressive waves given by y1 = 4 sin 500 πt and y2 = 2 sin 506 Πt. Number of beats produced per minute is

    • 360

    • 180

    • 3

    • 60

    Solution

    B.

    180

    To reach the solution the given wave equations must be compared with standard equation of progressive wave.

    So

    y1 = 4sin 500 Πt              ....(i)

    y2 = 2sin 506 Πt             .....(ii)

    Comparing Eqs. (i) and (ii) with
    y  = a sin ωt

    We have

    ω1 = 500 π f1 = 500π2π f1 = 250 beats/sand ω2 = 506 πf2 = 506π2πf2 = 253 beats/sThus, number of beats produced      = f2 - f1       = 253 - 250      =3 beats/s      =3 × 60 beats/min

    number of beats = 180 beats/min

    Question 16
    CBSEENPH11026178

    An observer moves towards a stationary source of sound, with a velocity one-fifth of the velocity of sound. What is the percentage increase in the apparent frequency ?

    • Zero

    • 0.5 %

    • 5 %

    • 20 %

    Solution

    D.

    20 %

    Given:- 

     νo =ν5 νo = 3205νo = 64 m/s

    When observer moves towards the stationary source then

    n' = ν + νoν nn' = 320 + 64320 nn' = 384320 nn' = 384320

    Hence percentage increase

    n' - nn = 384 - 320320 × 100                  = 64320 × 100%n' - nn = 20%

    Question 17
    CBSEENPH11026194

    The time of reverberation of a room A is one second. What will be the time (in seconds) of reverberation of a room, having all the dimensions double of those of room A?

    • 2

    • 4

    • 12

    • 1

    Solution

    A.

    2

    Sabine formula for reverberation time is

                 T = 0.16Σ a S

    Where V is volume of hall in m3

    ∑ a S = a1S1 + a2S2 +a3S3....

             = total absorption of the hall (room)

    Here, S1, S2 , S3, ..... are surface areas of the absorbers and  a1, a2 , a3 .... their respective absorption coefficients 

    T'T = V'S'× SV       = 2322        = 84

    T'T = 2

    T' = 2T = 2 × 1

    T' = 2 s

    Question 18
    CBSEENPH11026199

    Which one of the following statements is true?

    • Both light and sound waves in air are transverse

    • The sound waves in air are longitudinal while the light waves are transverse

    • Both light and sound waves in air are longitudinal

    • Both light and sound waves can travel in vacuum

    Solution

    B.

    The sound waves in air are longitudinal while the light waves are transverse

    In a longitudinal wave, the particles of the medium oscillate about their mean or equilibrium position along the direction of propagation of the wave itself. Sound waves are longitudinal in nature. In transverse wave, the particles of the medium oscillate about their mean or equilibrium position at right angles to the direction of propagation of wave itself. Light waves being electromagnetic are transverse waves.

    Question 19
    CBSEENPH11026202

    A closed organ pipe of length 20 cm is sounded with tuning fork in resonance. What is the frequency of tuning fork? (v = 332 m/s)

    • 300 Hz

    • 350 Hz

    • 375 Hz

    • 415 Hz

    Solution

    D.

    415 Hz

    When length of air column is λ4, then first resonance occurs.

                  

    If we adjust the length of air-column in closed organ pipe as such its any natural frequency equals to the frequency of tuning fork, then the amplitude of forced vibrations of air-column increases very much. This is the state of resonance. At first resonance

                                 l = λ4

    So, frequency of tuning fork

                             f = vλf= v4l

    Given, l= 20 cm= 0.2 m, v = 332 m/s 

    Hence 

                            f = 3324 × 0.2

                            f = 415 Hz

    Question 20
    CBSEENPH11026223

    Two vibrating strings of the same material but lengths L and 2L have radii 2r and r respectively. They are stretched under the same tension. Both the strings vibrate in their fundamental modes, the one of length L with frequency v1 and the other with frequency v2 The ratio v1v2 is

    • 2

    • 4

    • 8

    • 1

    Solution

    D.

    1

    Fundamental frequency

               v = 12lTm

              v = 12l T2πr2 ρ

    Where m = mass per unit length of wire

    ⇒       v 1lr

    ∴      v1v2 = l2r2l1r1

                 = 2L × rL × 2r

            v1v2 =1

            

    Question 21
    CBSEENPH11026229

    A tuning fork A produces 4 beats/s with another tuning fork B of frequency 320 Hz. On filing one of the prongs of A, 4 beats/s are again heard when sounded with the same fork B. Then, the frequency of the fork A before filing is

    • 328 Hz

    • 316 Hz

    • 324 Hz

    • 320 Hz

    Solution

    D.

    320 Hz

    There are 4 beats between A and B, therefore the possible frequencies of A are 316 or 324 that is (320 ± 4)Hz. 

    When the prong of A is filed, its frequency becomes greater than the original frequency. If we assume that original frequency of A is 324 then on filing its frequency will be greater than 324. The beats between A and B will be more than 4. But it is given that the beats are again 4, therefore, 324 is not possible. 

    Therefore, required frequency must be 316 Hz. (This is true, because on filing the frequency may increase so as to give 4 beats with B of frequency 320 Hz)

    Question 22
    CBSEENPH11026242

    Which one of the following statements is true?

    • Both light and sound waves in air are transverse

    • The sound waves in air are longitudinal while the light waves are transverse

    • Both light and sound waves in air are longitudinal

    • Both light and sound waves can travel in vacuum

    Solution

    B.

    The sound waves in air are longitudinal while the light waves are transverse

    Sound waves are longitudinal waves, meaning that the waves propagate by compression and rarefaction of their medium. They are termed longitudinal waves because the particles in the medium through which the wave travels oscillate parallel in direction of motion. 

    Longitudinal waves transmit energy by compressing and refracting the medium in the same direction as they are travelling. Sound waves are longitudinal waves are travel by compressing the air through which they travel, causing vibration.

    Light and sound waves both are forms of wave motion, sound requires a solid, liquid or gaseous medium; whereas light travels through empty space. the denser the medium, the greater the speed of sound.

    Question 23
    CBSEENPH11026244

    A closed organ pipe of length 20 cm is sounded with tuning fork in resonance. What is frequency of tuning fork? (v = 332 m/s)

    • 300 Hz

    • 350 Hz

    • 375 Hz

    • 415 Hz

    Solution

    D.

    415 Hz

    If we adjust the length of air-column in closed organ pipe as such its any natural frequency equals to the frequency of tuning fork, then the amplitude of forced vibrations of air-column increases very much. This is the state of resonance.

    At first resonance

                  l  =λ4

    So, frequency of tuning fork

                f = vλ

                f = v4 l

       

    Given, l = 20 cm = 0.2 m

              v = 332 m/s

    Hence

              f = 0.3324 × 0.2

             f = 415 Hz

    Question 24
    CBSEENPH11026247

    A transverse wave is expressed as, y = yo sin 2πf t  For what value of λ, maximum particle velocity equals to 4 times the wave velocity?

    • yo π2

    • 2 yo π

    • yo π

    • yo π4

    Solution

    A.

    yo π2

    Given equation is

           y = yo sin 2πf t 

    Where A = yo ,     k = 2πλ

    According to the question,

              v = 4 vp

    ∴         Aω = 4 ωk

    ∴        yo ω = 4 ωk 

    ⇒        yo = 4k

    ⇒        yo = 42π × λ

     Therefore, wavelength λ = π yo2

    Question 25
    CBSEENPH11026248

    When sound waves travel from air to water which one of the following remains constant?

    • Time period

    • Frequency

    • Velocity

    • Wavelength

    Solution

    B.

    Frequency

    Sound propagated in the form of longitudinal waves. When sound travels from one medium to another, both its velocity and wavelength undergo change. The velocity of sound in a given is obtained by equation 

              v = nλ

    Where n - frequency of sound and λ is the wavelength of the medium. The velocity of sound is directly proportional to the wavelength.

    The frequency of sound depends upon the source of the sound, not the medium of propagation. Hence, it does not change. 

    Question 26
    CBSEENPH11026265

    The sound waves after being converted into electrical waves are not transmitted as such because

    • they travel with the speed of sound

    • the frequency is not constant

    • they are heavily absorbed by the atmosphere

    • the height of antenna has to be increased several times

    Solution

    C.

    they are heavily absorbed by the atmosphere

    The electric waves do not have the capacity to travel through the atmosphere. They get immediately grounded and they become neutral as fast as possible. This makes electrical waves incapable to travel through the atmosphere.

    Question 27
    CBSEENPH11026266

    An engine moving towards a wall with a velocity 50 m/s  emits a note of 1.2 kHz. Speed of sound in air is 350 m/s. The frequency of the note after reflection from the wall as heard by the driver of the engine is

    • 2.4 kHz

    • 0.24 kHz

    • 1.6 KHz

    • 1.2 kHz

    Solution

    C.

    1.6 KHz

    The reflected sound appears to propagate in a direction opposite to that of moving engine. Thus, the source and the observer can be presumed to approach each other with same velocity. 

    The Doppler effect is observed whenever the source of waves is moving with respect to an observer. 

    So according to Doppler effect

          v' = v ( v + vo)v - vs

                    = v v + vsv - vs                        ( vo = vs)

    ⇒         v' = 1.2 350 + 50350 - 50

                    = 1.2 × 400300

               v' = 1.6 kHz

    Question 28
    CBSEENPH11026270

    y = 3 sin π t2 - x4 represents an equation of a progressive wave, where t is in second and x is in metre. The distance travelled by the wave in 5 s is

    • 8 m

    • 10 m

    • 5 m

    • 32 m

    Solution

    B.

    10 m

    The given equation of a progressive wave is

             y = 3 sin π t2- x4

                = 3 sin 2 πt4  - x8

    The standard equation of a progressive wave is

            y = yo sin 2π tT - xλ

    Comparing these two equations, we get

               T = 4 s ,   λ = 8m

    ∴  The velocity of wave,

        v = λT 

          =  84

    ⇒   v = 2 ms-1

    Distance travelled by wave in time t is

           s = v t

    ⇒     s = 2 × 5

    ⇒        s = 10 m

    Question 29
    CBSEENPH11026289

    A transverse wave is represented by the equation   y = yo sin 2πλ vt - k.  For what value of λ  is the particle velocity equal to two times the wave velocity 

    • λ = π yo

    • λ = π yo2

    • λ = π yo3

    • λ = 2π i yo

    Solution

    A.

    λ = π yo

    A transeverse wave is described by equation

                    y = yo sin 2π λ vt -  k 

    Comparing the given equation of the standard equation of wave

             w yo = 2 v

               2πn yo = 2ny

              λ = π yo

    Question 30
    CBSEENPH11026302

    When an open organ is dipped in water upto half of its height, then its frequency will become

    • half

    • double

    • remain same

    • four time

    Solution

    C.

    remain same

    organ pipe - Sound producing such a tube which is close at one end and open at other end is called closed organ pipe, and the tube which open at both the ends called open organ pipe.

    Frequency of open organ pipe is double than that of closed pipe.

    If frequency of open pipe =  n

    ∴  Frequency of closed pipe = n2

    On inserting an open pipe into water upto half of its height, it will behave like a closed pipe of half length and frequency is inversely proportional to the length of air column.

    Hence, frequency of closed pipe will become double

                                          = 2 × n2

                                           = n

    Question 31
    CBSEENPH11026303

    A sound source producing waves of frequency 300 Hz and wavelength lm observer is stationary, while source is going away with the velocity 30 m is, then apparent frequency heared by the observer is

    • 270 Hz

    • 273 Hz

    • 383 Hz

    • 300Hz

    Solution

    B.

    273 Hz

    An increase (or decrease ) in the frequency of sound, light or other waves as the source and observer move towards (or away from) other. The effect causes the sudden change in pitch noticeable in a passing siren, as well as the redshift seen by astronomers. 

    Here source is moving and the observer is stationary so according to Doppler effect we use the following relation.

    Apparent frequency n' = n VV + Vs

      V = Velocity of sound

      Vs = velocity of source

      ∴   n' = 300 332332 + 30

               = 273 Hz

    Question 32
    CBSEENPH11026311

    Linear density of a string of is 1.3 x 10-4 kg/m and wave equation is y = 0.021 sin (x + 30t ), Find, the tension in the string where, x in metre and t in second

    • 0.12 N

    • 0.21 N

    • 1.2 N

    • 0.012 N

    Solution

    A.

    0.12 N

    Mass per unit length m = 1.3 × 10-4 kg/m

                                   y = 0.021 sin (x + 30t)

    Comparing with y = a sin ωt + 2π xλ

       a = 0.021,  ω = 30

        2πn = 30

    ⇒    n = 302π

    We know that 

         2πλ = 1

    ∴     λ = 2π

    Frequency,

           n = 1λTm

          302π = 12πT1.3 ×10-4

           T = 1.3 × 10-4 × 900

            T = 0.117 

            T = 0.12 N

    Question 33
    CBSEENPH11026312

    An observer is approaching with velocity v towards a light source. If the velocity of light is c, then velocity of light with respect to observer will be

    • c - v

    • c

    • c + v

    • 1 - v2c2

    Solution

    C.

    c + v

    According to the Doppler effect 

    Here both source and observer moving

    Observer and light are moving towards each other, so relative velocity is c + v.

    Question 34
    CBSEENPH11026334

    A 4 kg block is suspended from the ceiling of an elevator through a spring having a linear mass density of 19.2 x 10-3 kg m-3 . Find the speed with respect to spring with which a wave pulse can proceed on the spring if the elevator accelerates up at the rate of 2.0 ms-2.
    Take g = 10 ms-2

    • 30 m/s

    • 42 m/s

    • 46 m/s

    • 50 m/s

    Solution

    D.

    50 m/s

    Given:-

    m = 19.2 x 10-3 kg /m

    Now see the free body diagram

    The equation for the motion

       T - 4g - 4a = 0

    ⇒  T = 4 ( a + g ) 

            = 4 ( 2 + 10)

          T = 48 N

        

    Now wave speed

        v = Tm

          = 2.5 × 10-3

      v = 50 m/s

    Question 35
    CBSEENPH11026338

    Figure shows spring + block + pulley system which are light. The time period of mass would be

      

    • 2π km

    • 12πkm

    • 2πmk

    • 12π mk

    Solution

    C.

    2πmk

    Let when m is hanging, the extension in the spring is l, then tension in the string is,

        T1 = k l = mg

    When force is applied, let the further extension is x.

     The tension in the spring is

         T2 = k ( x + l )

    ∴ Driving force = T2 - T1

                           = k (  x + l ) - kl

      Driving force = k x

    ∴   Acceleration  = klm

    ⇒          T = 2π displacementacceleration

                   = 2π xkx

    ⇒         T = 2π xkxm

    ⇒         T = 2π mk

    • 4.34 x 104 Hz, 4.67 x 104 Hz

    • 4.5 x 104 Hz, 5.4 x 104 Hz

    • 4.67 x 103 Hz, 4.34 x 104 Hz

    Solution

    B.

    4.34 x 104 Hz, 4.67 x 104 Hz

    D.

    4.67 x 103 Hz, 4.34 x 104 Hz

    Frequency received by bat after reflection from wall (1),

          f1 = f v + uv - u

              = 4.5 × 104  330 + 6330 - 6 

                              [ given f = 4.5 × 104 Hz ]

             = 4.67 × 104 Hz

    Frequency received by bat after reflection from wall (2),

         f2 =  f  v - uv + u 

             = 4.5 × 104  330 - 6330 + 6 

          f2 = 4.34 × 104 Hz

    Question 37
    CBSEENPH11026384

    A wave packet with center frequency ω is propagating in dispersive medium with phase velocity of 1.5 x 103 m/s. When the frequency ω is increased by 2%, the phase velocity is found to decrease by 3 %. What is group velocity of the wave packet?

    • 0.25 × 103 m/s

    • 1.0 × 103 m/s

    • 0.6 × 103 m/s

    • 0.75 × 103 m/s

    Solution

    C.

    0.6 × 103 m/s

    Phase velocity:- It is the ratio of the angular frequency to the wave number.

                    vpωk

    k = wave number

    ω = angular frequency

                 dvpvp = ω - dkk

    ∴            dkk = ω - dvpvp

                         = 2 % - - 3 %

                    dkk  = 5%

    Group velocity:- it is the derivative of the angular frequency with respect to the wave number.

    Group velocity is given by

                    vg = dk

                  dk = vp ωdkk

                         = 1.5 × 103 25

                   dk  = 0.6 × 103 m/s

    Question 38
    CBSEENPH11026394

    When a stretched wire and a tuning fork are sounded together, 5  beats per second are produced, when length of wire is  95 cm or 100 cm, frequency of the fork is

    • 90 Hz

    • 100 Hz

    • 105 Hz

    • 195 Hz

    Solution

    D.

    195 Hz

    Tunning fork are sounded together 5 beats per second are produced or 5Hz

    Let frequency of fork = n

    Then probably frequencies of tunning fork due to beats due to beats formation are 

         ( n + 5 ) Hz and ( n - 5 ) Hz

    We know

    Frequency is inversely proportional to length of wire

    ∴    n + 5n - 5 = 10095

    ⇒  95 ( n + 5 ) = 100 ( n - 5 )

    ⇒  19 ( n + 5 ) = 20 ( n - 5 )

    ⇒   19n + 95 = 20n - 100

    ⇒  95 + 100 = 20n - 19n

    ⇒            n = 195

    Hence frequency of the fork is 195 Hz

    Question 39
    CBSEENPH11026396

    Four massless springs whose force constants are 2k, 2k, k and 2k respectively are attached to a mass M kept on a frictionless plane as shown in the figure. If the mass M is displaced in the horizontal direction, then the frequency of the system is

    • 12π k4M

    • 12π4kM

    • 12πk7M

    • 12π 7kM

    Solution

    B.

    12π4kM

         

    Two springs on the L.H.S. of mass M are in series and two springs on the R.H.S. of mass M are in parallel. These combinations of springs will be considered in parallel to mass M. Thus effective spring constant,

         K = 2k × 2k2k + 2k + ( k + 2k)

            = 4k

    ∴ Frequency ν = 12π KM

                       ν  = 12π 4kM
