In a resonance tube experiment, a closed organ pipe of length 120 cm is used. Initially it is completely filled with water. It is vibrated with tuning fork of frequency 340 Hz. To achieve resonance, the water level is lowered then (given vair=340 m s-1, neglect end correction):

Two narrow organ pipes, one open (length l1) and the other closed (length l2) are sounded in their respective fundamental modes. The beat frequency heard is 5 Hz. If now the pipes are sounded in their first overtones, then also the beat frequency heard is 5 Hz. Then:

Select all the correct alternatives. Two identical straight wires are stretched so as to produce 6 beats per second when vibrating simultaneously. On changing the tension slightly in one of them, the beat-frequency remains unchanged. Denoting by T1, T2 the higher and the lower initial tensions in the strings, then it could be said that while making the above changes in tension.

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:

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 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
