Before answering the question-paper candidates should ensure that they have been supplied
to correct and complete question-paper. No complaint, in this regard, will be entertained
after the examination.

Note : Attempt Four questions in all. All questions carry equal marks.

1. (a) State Huygens principle.

(b) State applications of ultrasonic waves.
(c) What are musical waves ?
(d) What do you understand by environmental acoustic ?
(e) What are forced vibrations ?

2. (a) How energy is transmitted through waves ? Drive expression.

(b) What are stationary waves ? How are these produced ?

3. Discuss the superposition of waves. Drive expression amplitude for superposition

of N waves using graphical method.

(3)(D20)M-C511 1 P.T.O.
4. (a) How a sound wave is produced and propagated ? Define sound speed and
sound intensity.
(b) How beats are formed by the interference of sound waves ?

5. (a) A body emitting sound of frequency 350 Hz is dropped from a balloon rising
vertically with constant velocity of 2 m/s. Calculate the frequency of sound
as felt by the observer in the balloon 2 s after the release. (Take velocity of
sound in air as 335 m/s; acceleration due to gravity is 10 m/s).
(b) What are supersonic and shock waves ? Explain their formation.

6. Discuss various types of microphones with their basic working.

7. (a) Define the term pitch and frequency, quality and complexity, loudness and
intensity of sound waves.
(b) State various parts of ear and their role towards hearing of sound.

8. What is Reverberation ? Drive Sabine formula to explain reverberation.

9. State Architectural Acoustics and Noise Criteria. State methods for the reduction of
noise inside auditorium.
