NEET Physics: Waves — MCQ Test 16

Q6. Two strings produce beats of 7 Hz. One has a frequency of 392 Hz. When the tension in the second string is increased, the beat frequency becomes 5 Hz. What was the original frequency of the second string?

Q7. Two waves \( y_1 = 4 \sin (5x - 15t) \) and \( y_2 = 4 \sin (5x - 15t + \pi) \) interfere. What is the amplitude of the resultant wave?

Q8. A pipe closed at one end has a length of 0.35 m and resonates at its fundamental frequency with a speed of sound of 350 m/s. What is the frequency?

Q9. Why does the speed of sound increase with temperature in a gas?

Q10. Which wave phenomenon is responsible for the cancellation of sound in certain regions when two speakers emit waves of equal frequency?
