In a closed tube whose length can be altered by sliding one of the halves relative to other is shown in the figure. In the initial condition the detector detects minimum intensity. One of the tubes is then displaced by 5 cm, during this displacement detector detects maximum intensity for 10 times and then a minimum intensity when the displacement is complete. What is the wavelength of sound?

Two identical coherent sound sources R and S with frequency f are 5 m apart. An observer standing equidistant from the sources and at a perpendicular distance of 12 m from the line RS hears maximum sound intensity. When he moves parallel to RS the sound intensity varies and is a minimum when he comes directly in front of one of the two sources. Then a possible value of f is close to (the speed of sound is 330 m s-1)

Two identical point-like sound sources emitting sound in same phase of wavelength 1 m are located at points P and Q as shown in figure. All sides of the polygon are equal and of length 1 m. The intensity of sound at M due to source P alone is I0. What will be the intensity of sound at point M when both the source are on?

The sound signal is sent through a composite tube as shown in the figure. The radius of the semicircular portion of the tube is r. Speed of sound in air is v. The source of sound is capable of giving varied frequencies in the range of v1 and v2 (where v2>v1). If n is an integer then frequency for maximum intensity is given by
