In the figure shown an observer O1 floats (static) on the water surface with ears in air while another observer O2 is moving upwards with constant velocity V1=V5 in water. The source moves down with constant velocity Vs=V5 and emits the sound of frequency f. The velocity of sound in air is V and that in water is 4V. For the situation shown in figure:

IMPORTANT
Two sound waves move in the same direction in the same medium. The pressure amplitude of the waves are equal but the wavelength of the first wave is double that of the second. Let the average power transmitted across a cross section by the two wave be P1 and P2 and their displacement amplitudes be s1 and s2, then

A wave equation that gives the displacement along the Y-direction is given by the equation, y=104sin60t+2x, where x and y are in metres and t is time in seconds. This represents a wave

A vibrating string of a 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-1, the frequency n of the tuning fork in Hz is

A student performed the experiment to measure the speed of the sound in air using the resonance air-column method. Two resonances in the air column were obtained by lowering the water level. The resonance with the shorter air column is the first resonance and that with the longer air column is the second resonance. Then

A student is performing the experiment of Resonance Column. The diameter of the column tube is 4 cm. The frequency of the tuning fork is 512 Hz. The air temperature is 38°C in which the speed of sound is 336 m s-1. The zero of the meter scale coincides with the top end of the Resonance column.
When first resonance occurs, the reading of the water level in the column is
