Assertion: No Doppler effect will be observed in sound when source and observer are moving with the same speed.

Reason: Doppler effect may be due to change in wavelength also.

IMPORTANT

Assertion: Ultrasonic is the acoustic analogue of ultraviolet radiation.

Reason: Ultraviolet rays do not produce visual sensations while ultrasonic waves are not heard by the human ear.

IMPORTANT

Assertion: Longitudinal waves are called pressure waves.

Reason: Propagation of longitudinal waves through a medium involves changes in pressure.

IMPORTANT

Assertion: If two people talk simultaneously and each creates a sound level of 60 dB at a point P, then total sound level at the point P is 120 dB.

Reason: Sound level is defined on a non-linear scale.

IMPORTANT

Assertion: Doppler effect does not depend upon the distance between source and observer.

Reason: If source and observer are moving with same velocities, then no Doppler effect will be observed.

IMPORTANT

Assertion: Speed of sound in O2 gas at temperature T is v. If temperature is increased to 2T, the molecular oxygen breaks into atomic oxygen. Then, the speed of sound under these conditions will become 2v.

Reason: With the increase in humidity in the air, speed of sound increases.

IMPORTANT

Assertion: Fundamental frequency of a narrow organ pipe is more than a broad diameter organ pipe of the same length.

Reason: If we apply Laplace end correction, then the fundamental frequency of a closed organ pipe is more than v4l.

IMPORTANT

Assertion: If a stretched wire fixed at both ends is vibrating in its second overtone mode, then the total number of nodes and antinodes are four each.

Reason: Number of antinodes is equal to the number of loops.

Assertion: Transverse waves cannot travel in the gaseous medium.

Reason: Gaseous medium does not have a modulus of rigidity.
