  • A
    $(\sqrt{I_1} - \sqrt{I_2})^2$
  • B
    $2(I_1 + I_2)$
  • C

$A$ 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 right-angled 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 point $D$ where a detector is placed. If a maxima is formed at the detector,then the possible values for the wavelength $\lambda$ of the wave produced are given by:

In the Kundt's tube experiment (shown in fig. $(i)$),the rod is clamped at the center. In the modified experiment (shown in fig. $(ii)$),the rod is clamped at the end. It is known that the speed of sound in air is $330\ m/s$,the powder piles up at successive distances of $0.6\ m$,and the length of the rod used is $1\ m$. Calculate the speed of sound in the rod in $m/s$.

$A$ wave is travelling along a string. At an instant,the shape of the string is as shown in the figure. At this instant,point $A$ is moving upward. Then:
$(a)$ The wave is travelling to the left.
$(b)$ At this instant,$C$ is moving downward.
$(c)$ The amplitude of the wave is greater than the displacement of point $B$ at this instant.

$(d)$ Waves on a tense string$(iv)$ Mechanical,transverse and longitudinal.

The superposing waves are represented by the following equations: ${y_1} = 5\sin 2\pi (10t - 0.1x)$ and ${y_2} = 10\sin 2\pi (20t - 0.2x)$. The ratio of intensities $\frac{I_{\max}}{I_{\min}}$ will be:
