Q1Oscillations & Waves Core Principles

Expected: 60sEasy

The fundamental frequency in an open organ pipe is equal to the third harmonic of a closed organ pipe. If the length of the closed organ pipe is 20 cm, the length of the open organ pipe is

Q2Oscillations & Waves Advanced Applications

Expected: 60sEasy

A tuning fork is used to produce resonance in a glass tube. The length of the air column in this tube can be adjusted by a variable piston. At room temperature of 27°C two successive resonances are produced at 20 cm and 73 cm of column length. If the frequency of the tuning fork is 320 Hz, the velocity of sound in air at 27°C is

Q3Oscillations & Waves Problem Solving Techniques

Expected: 60sEasy

A pendulum is hung from the roof of a sufficiently high building and is moving freely to and fro like a simple harmonic oscillator. The acceleration of the bob of the pendulum is 20 m s–2 at a distance of 5 m from the mean position. The time period of oscillation is

Q4Oscillations & Waves Core Principles

Expected: 90sMedium

Two identical point masses $P$ and $Q$ , suspended from two separate massless springs of spring constants $k_1$ and $k_2$ , respectively, oscillate vertically. If their maximum speeds are the same, the ratio ( $A Q / A_\rho$ ) of the amplitude $A Q$ of mass $Q$ to the amplitude $A_\rho$ of mass $P$ is

Q5Oscillations & Waves Advanced Applications

Expected: 90sMedium

A pipe open at both ends has a fundamental frequency $f$ in air. The pipe is now dipped vertically in a water drum to half of its length. The fundamental frequency of the air column is now equal to:

Q6Oscillations & Waves Problem Solving Techniques

Expected: 120sHard

In an oscillating spring mass system, a spring is connected to a box filled with sand. As the box oscillates, sand leaks slowly out of the box vertically so that the average frequency $\omega(t)$ and average amplitude $A(t)$ of the system change with time $t$ . Which one of the following options schematically depicts these changes correctly?

Q7Oscillations & Waves Core Principles

Expected: 90sMedium

The number of possible natural oscillations of air column in a pipe closed at one end length 85 cm whose frequencies lie below 1250 Hz are (Velocity of sound = 340 m s $-$ 1)

Q8Oscillations & Waves Advanced Applications

Expected: 90sMedium

A tuning fork of frequency 512 Hz makes 4 beats per second with the vibrating string of a piano. The beat frequency decreases to 2 beats per sec when the tension in the piano string is slightly increased. The frequency of the piano string before increasing the tension was

Q9Oscillations & Waves Problem Solving Techniques

Expected: 90sMedium

The oscillation of a body on a smooth horizontal surface is represented by the equation, X = A cos $\left( {\omega t} \right)$ where X = displacement at time t $\omega$ = frequency of oscillation Which one of the following graphs shows correctly the variation a with t? Here a = acceleration at time t T = time period

Q10Oscillations & Waves Core Principles

Expected: 90sMedium
