$A$ parallel beam of light is incident on a tank filled with water up to a height of $61.5 \,mm$ as shown in the figure below. Ultrasonic waves of frequency $0.5 \,MHz$ are sent along the length of the water column using a transducer placed at the top and they form longitudinal standing waves in the water. Which of the schematic plots below best describes the intensity distribution of the light as seen on the screen? (Take the speed of sound in water to be $1500 \,m/s$)

$A$ narrow tube is bent in the form of a circle of radius $R,$ as shown in the figure. Two small holes $S$ and $D$ are made in the tube at positions at a right angle to each other. $A$ source placed at $S$ generates a wave of intensity $I_0$ which is equally divided into two parts: one part travels along the longer path,while the other travels along the shorter path. Both the waves meet at the point $D$ where a detector is placed. If a minimum is formed at the detector,then the magnitude of the wavelength $\lambda$ of the wave produced is given by:

Speed of a transverse wave on a straight wire (mass $6.0\; g$,length $60\; cm$,and area of cross-section $1.0\; mm^{2}$) is $90\; ms^{-1}$. If the Young's modulus of the wire is $16 \times 10^{11}\; Nm^{-2}$,the extension of the wire over its natural length is: (in $; mm$)

$A$ 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 $\,N$)

In Quincke's tube,a detector detects minimum intensity. Now,one of the tubes is displaced by $5 \, cm$. During displacement,the detector detects maximum intensity $10$ times,and finally a minimum intensity (when displacement is complete). The wavelength of sound is .... $cm$.
