If frequency of sound produced by a siren increases from 400 to 1200 Hz while the wave amplitude remains constant, the ratio of intensity of the 1200 Hz to that of 400 Hz wave will If frequency of sound produced by a siren increases from 400 to 1200 Hz while the wave amplitude remains constant [...]

Two strings A and B have lengths lA ​and lB ​ carry masses MA and MB at their lower ends the upper ends being supported by rigid supports. If nA and nB are the fundamental frequencies of their vibration, then nA : nB is A stationary wave set up on a string have the equation [...]

A stationary wave set up on a string have the equation y = (2mm) sin [(6.25 m^-1) x cos (ωt)]. This stationary wave is created by two identical waves, of amplitude A each moving in opposite directions along the string. Then A stationary wave set up on a string have the equation y = (2mm) [...]

In order to double the frequency of the fundamental note emitted by a stretched string, the length is reduced to 3/4th of the original length and the tension is changed. The factor by which the tension is to be changed is In order to double the frequency of the fundamental note emitted by a stretched [...]
