Sound waves travel at \(350\) m/s through warm air and at \(3500\) m/s through brass. The wavelength of a \(700\) Hz acoustic wave as it enters brass from warm air:
1. | \(20\) | increase by a factor of2. | increase by a factor of \(10\) |
3. | decrease by a factor of \(20\) | 4. | decrease by a factor of \(10\) |
\(4.0~\text{gm}\) of gas occupies \(22.4~\text{litres}\) at NTP. The specific heat capacity of the gas at a constant volume is \(5.0~\text{JK}^{-1}\text{mol}^{-1}.\) If the speed of sound in the gas at NTP is \(952~\text{ms}^{-1},\) then the molar heat capacity at constant pressure will be: (\(R=8.31~\text{JK}^{-1}\text{mol}^{-1}\))
1. | \(8.0~\text{JK}^{-1}\text{mol}^{-1}\) | 2. | \(7.5~\text{JK}^{-1}\text{mol}^{-1}\) |
3. | \(7.0~\text{JK}^{-1}\text{mol}^{-1}\) | 4. | \(8.5~\text{JK}^{-1}\text{mol}^{-1}\) |
Two strings \(A\) and \(B,\) made of same material, are stretched by same tension. The radius of string \(A\) is double of the radius of \(B.\) A transverse wave travels on \(A\) with speed \(v_A\) and on \(B\) with speed \(v_B.\) The ratio \(\frac{v_A}{v_B}=\) ?
1. | \(\frac{1}{2}\) | 2. | \(2\) |
3. | \(\frac{1}{4}\) | 4. | \(4\) |
Speed of sound in air at standard temperature and pressure is:
(Given the mass of \(1\) mole of air is \(29.0\times10^{-3}\) kg and \(\gamma=7/5\)
1. \(240 \) m/s
2. \(331.5\) m/s
3. \(384.5\) m/s
4. \(280\) m/s
The speed of sound in a medium depends on:
1. | the elastic property but not on the inertia property |
2. | the inertia property but not on the elastic property |
3. | the elastic property as well as the inertia property |
4. | neither the elastic property nor the inertia property |
