$A$ stretched uniform wire of length $L$ under tension $T$ is vibrating with fundamental frequency $n$. $A$ closed pipe of the same length $L$ is also vibrating with the same fundamental frequency $n$. If the tension $T$ is increased by $16 \,N$, the wire resonates with the $2^{\text{nd}}$ harmonic of the same closed pipe. The initial tension in the wire is: (in $\,N$)

  • A
    $1$
  • B
    $2$
  • C
    $1.5$
  • D

$A$ wave pulse on a string has the dimensions shown in the figure. The wave speed is $v = 1 \, cm/s$. If point $O$ is a free end,what is the shape of the wave at time $t = 3 \, s$?

$A$ pipe open at one end has length $0.8 \,m$. At the open end of the tube, a string $0.5 \,m$ long is vibrating in its $1^{\text{st}}$ overtone and resonates with the fundamental frequency of the pipe. If the tension in the string is $50 \,N$, what is the mass of the string (in $\,g$)? (Speed of sound $= 320 \,m/s$)

Explain why (or how):
$(a)$ in a sound wave,a displacement node is a pressure antinode and vice versa,
$(b)$ bats can ascertain distances,directions,nature,and sizes of the obstacles without any eyes,
$(c)$ a violin note and sitar note may have the same frequency,yet we can distinguish between the two notes,
$(d)$ solids can support both longitudinal and transverse waves,but only longitudinal waves can propagate in gases,and
$(e)$ the shape of a pulse gets distorted during propagation in a dispersive medium.
