A tuning fork vibrating with frequency of `512 Hz` is kept close to the open end of a tube filled with water (figure). The water level in the tube is gradually lowered. When the water level is `17cm` below the open end maximum internsity of sound is heard If the room temperature is `20^(@)C` calculate A. Speed of sound in air at room temperatureB. speed of sound in air at `0^(@)C`C. If the water in the tube is replaced with mercury, will there be any difference in your observation ?D. All of the above

Answer» Correct Answer - D
If a pipe partially filled with water whose upper surface of the water acts as a reflecting surface of a closed organ pipe. If the length of the air column is veried until its natural frequency equals the frequency of the fork, then the coloumn resonates and emits loud note The frequency of tuning fork `f=512Hz`
(`a`) For list maximum of intersity the length of the air coloumn `l=(lambda)/(4) implies 4l=4xx17xx10^(-2)m`
Hence speed of sound `v=f lambda=512(417xx10^(-2))`
`=348.16m//s`
(`b`) We know that `v prop sqrt(T)` where temperature (`T`) is in kelvin
`(v_(20))/(V_(0))=sqrt((273+20)/(273+0))=sqrt((293)/(273))`
`(v_(20))/(V_(0))=sqrt(1.073)=1.03`
`v_(0)=(v_(20))/(1.03)=(348.16)/(1.03)=338m//s`
(`c`) The resonance will still be observed for `17cm` length of air coloumn above mercuy. However due to more compelete reflection of sound waves or mercury. However due to conplete reflection of sound waves at mercury, surface the intensity relected sound increases.

Find the equation of line joining (3,2) and (-1,-3) using determinants.

Answer»

Let arbitrary point (x ,y) lies on the line joining points (3,2) and (-1,-3).

\(\therefore\) \(\begin{vmatrix}x & y & 1\\[0.3em] 3 & 2 &1 \\[0.3em] -1& -3 & 1 \end{vmatrix} = 0\)

\(\Rightarrow\) \(x\begin{vmatrix}2 &1 \\[0.3em] -3 & 1 \end{vmatrix} - y\begin{vmatrix}3&1 \\[0.3em]-1&1\end{vmatrix}+1\begin{vmatrix}3 &2 \\[0.3em] -1 & -3 \end{vmatrix}=0\)

\(\Rightarrow\) x(2 + 3) - y(3 + 1) + 1(-9 + 2) = 0

\(\Rightarrow\) 5x - 4y - 7 = 0 

Which is equation of required line passes through points (3,2) & (-1,-3).

If \(\vec A+3\vec B\) and \(4\vec A-\vec B\) are perpendicular and |A|=2|B|. Determine the angle between the non-Zero vectors \(\vec A\,and\,\vec B\)

Answer»

Given  \(\vec{A}+3\vec{B}\) and \(4\vec{A}-\vec{B}\) are perpendicular

then, \((\vec{A}+3\vec{B})\).\((4\vec{A}-\vec{B})\) = 0 (\(\vec{a}.\vec{b}\)= ab cosθ if vectors are perpendicular then \(\vec{a}.\vec{b}\)= 0)

\(\Rightarrow\) 4A2 + 12\(\vec{B}.\vec{A}\)\(\vec{A}.\vec{B}\) - \(3B^2\) = 0  (\(\because\) \(\vec{A}.\vec{A}=(\vec{A})^2=A^2\))

\(\Rightarrow\) 4A2 + 11\(\vec{A}.\vec{B}\) - \(3B^2\) = 0 (\(\because\) \(\vec{A}.\vec{B}\) = \(\vec{B}.\vec{A}\))

\(\Rightarrow\) 4A2 + 11 AB cosθ - 3B2 = 0 , where θ is angle between vectors \(\vec{A}\) and \(\vec{B}\) and \(\vec{A}.\vec{B}\) = AB cosθ

\(\Rightarrow\) 16 B2 + 22 B2 cosθ - 3B2 = 0 ( \(\because\) \(|\vec{A}|=2|\vec{B}|\) = A = 2B)

\(\Rightarrow\) B(13 + 22 cosθ) = 0

\(\Rightarrow\) 13 + 22 cosθ = 0  ( \(\because\) \(\vec{B}\) is non- zero vector therefore B\(\ne\)0)

\(\Rightarrow\) cosθ = \(-\frac{13}{22}\)

\(\Rightarrow\) θ = \(\cos^{-1}\big(-\frac{13}{22}\big)\) = π - \(\cos^{-1}\big(\frac{13}{22}\big)\) (\(\because\) cos-1(-θ) = π - cos-1θ)

Thomas worked for five years as a telegraph operator, but he continued to spend much of his time on the job of conducting experiments. He got his first patent in 1868 for a vote recorder run by electricity. However, the vote recorder was not a success. In 1870, he sold another invention, a stock-ticker, for $40,000. A stock- ticker is a machine that automatically prints stock prices on a tape. lie was then able to build his first shop in Newark, New Jersey.Thomas Alva Edison was totally deaf in one ear and hard of hearing in the other, but he thought of deafness as a blessing in many ways. It kept conversations short, so that he could have more time for w’ork. He called himself a “two-shift man” because he worked for sixteen out of every twenty four hours. Sometimes, he worked so intensely that his wife had to remind him to sleep and cat.Thomas Alva Edison died at the age of 84 on October 18, 1930 at his estate in West Organic, New Jersey. He left numerous inventions that improved the quality of life all over the world.(a) What would have happened if Thomas Alva Edison hadn’t invented the electric light?(b) Mention any one of the inventions, of Edison other than the electric light?(c) Edison was mostly educated(i) in school(ii) by his father(iii) on his own(d) Which human tendency led Edison to start experimenting at a young age?(e) Why did Edison set up a laboratory in the train
