Two coherent sources of sound, S1 and S2, produce sound waves of the same wavelength, λ = 1 m, in phase. S1 and S2 are placed 1.5 m apart (see fig). A listener, located at L, directly in front of S2 finds that the intensity is at a minimum when he is 2 m away from S2. The listener moves away from S1, keeping his distance from S2 fixed. The adjacent maximum of intensity is observed when the listener is at a distance d from S1. Then, d is

A parallel plate capacitor has plate of length ‘l’, width ‘w’ and separation of plates is ‘d’. It is connected to a battery of emf V. A dielectric slab of the same thickness ‘d’ and of dielectric constant k = 4 is being inserted between the plates of the capacitor. At what length of the slab inside plates, will the energy stored in the capacitor be two times the initial energy stored?

In an experiment to verify Stokes law, a small spherical ball of radius r and density ρ falls under gravity through a distance h in air before entering a tank of water. If the terminal velocity of the ball inside water is same as its velocity just before entering the water surface, then the value of h is proportional to (ignore viscosity of air)
