An object of density $2000 \ kg \ m^{-3}$ is hung from a thin light wire. The fundamental frequency of the transverse waves in the wire is $200 \ Hz$. If the object is immersed in water such that half of its volume is submerged,then the fundamental frequency of the transverse waves in the wire is (in $Hz$)

$A$ man standing in front of a mountain beats a drum at regular intervals. The rate of drumming is gradually increased and he finds that the echo is not heard distinctly when the rate becomes $40$ per minute. He then moves nearer to the mountain by $90 \ m$ and finds that the echo is again not heard when the drumming rate becomes $60$ per minute. The distance between the mountain and the initial position of the man is .... $m$

The displacement of a particle in a string stretched in the $X$ direction is represented by $y$. Among the following expressions for $y$,which ones describe wave motion?

$A$ vibrating string of certain length $l$ under a tension $T$ resonates with a mode corresponding to the first overtone (third harmonic) of an air column of length $75 \ cm$ inside a tube closed at one end. The string also generates $4$ beats per second when excited along with a tuning fork of frequency $n$. Now,when the tension of the string is slightly increased,the number of beats reduces to $2$ per second. Assuming the velocity of sound in air to be $340 \ m/s$,the frequency $n$ of the tuning fork in $Hz$ is:

$A$ 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:
