NEET Waves MCQs & PYQs

Question 1:

moderate

In a gaseous medium on increasing temperature 800 K, speed of sound becomes √5 times of initial then initial temperature of medium in °C is

Question 2:

moderate

For sound waves propagating in a medium, identify the property that is independent of the others :

Speed of sound wave depends on medium and is independent of wavelength and frequency.

Question 3:

moderate

Two waves of amplitude 2A and A of same frequency and velocity propogate in same direction with same phase. Then resultant amplitude is

Resultant amplitude

\[ R= \sqrt{A^{2}+(2A)^{2}+ 2A.2A cos\theta} \]

As Īø = 0Āŗ

R= A+2A=3A

Question 4:

moderate

Two waves of intensity I1 and I2 propagate in a medium in same direction. Then sum of maximum and minimum intensity is

\[ I _{max= }\left( \sqrt{I_{1}} +\sqrt{I_{2}}\right)^{2} \]

\[ I _{min = }\left( \sqrt{I_{1}} - \sqrt{I_{2}}\right)^{2} \]

\[ I _{max} + I _{min} = 2(I_{1} + I_{2})\]

Question 5:

moderate

The fundamental frequency of a closed pipe is 220 Hz. If 1/4 of the pipe is filled with water, the frequency of the first overtone of the pipe now is

Question 6:

moderate

An organ pipe P1 closed at one vibrating in its first overtone and another pipe P2 open at both ends vibrating in third overtone are in resonance with a given tuning fork. The ratio of the length of P1 to that of P2 is

Question 7:

moderate

A second harmonic has to be generated in a string of length l stretched between two rigid supports. The point where the string has to be plucked and touched are

Question 8:

moderate

A source of sound gives five beats per second when sounded with another source of frequency 100 s–1. The second harmonic of the source together with a source of frequency 205 s–1 gives five beats per second. What is the frequency of the source ?

Question 9:

moderate

Ten tuning forks are arranged in increasing orderof frequency in such a way that any two nearest tuning forks produce 4 beats/sec. The highest frequency is twice of the lowest. Possible highest and the lowest frequencies are

Question 10:

moderate

Two coherent sources of different intensities send waves which interfere. The ratio of the maximum intensity to the minimum intensity is 25. The intensities are in the ratio
