The frequency of vibration of a string is given by,
f = 1 √ T 2I m
where m is mass per unit length.f1 = 1 √ T f2 = 1 √ T 2I1 m 2I2 m f2 - f1 = 1 √ T (l1 - l2) 2 m l1l2 √ T = √ 20 = √2 10 × 10² = 1.414 × 100 m 10-3

Given : Length (l) = 7 m
Mass (M) = 0.035 kg and tension (T) = 60.5 N.
Therefore, mass of string per unit length (m) =0.035 = 0.005 kg/m 7
speed of wave= √ T √ 60.5 = 110 m/s m 0.005 Correct Option: C

We know that the length of pipe closed at one end for first overtone (l1) = 3λ/4 and length of the open pipe for third overtone (l2) = 4λ/2 = 2λ.
Therefore, the ratio of lengths l1 = 3λ/4 = 3 or l1 : l2 = 3 : 8 . l2 2λ 8 Correct Option: C

Here, v' = 9 v 8
Source and observer are moving in opposite direction, therefore, apparent frequencyv' = v &time; (v + u) (v - u) 9 v = v &time; 340 + u 8 340 - u
⇒ 9 &time; 340 - 9u = 8 &time; 340 + 8u⇒ 17u = 340&time; 1 ⇒ u = 340 = 20 m/sec. 17
