CBSE TEST PAPER-05

CLASS - XI PHYSICS (Oscillations and Waves)

Topic: - Waves

1. Velocity of sound increases on a cloudy day. Why? [1]

2. Sound of maximum intensity is heard successively at an interval of 0.2 second on [1]

sounding two tuning fork to gather. What is the difference of frequencies of two
tuning forks?

3. If two sound waves has a phase difference of 600, then find out the path difference [1]
between the two waves?

4. If string wires of same material of length l and 2l vibrate with frequencies 100HZ [2]
and 150 HZ. Find the ratio of their frequencies?

5. Two similar sonometer wires of the same material produces 2 beats per second. [2]
The length of one is 50cm and that of the other is 50.1 cm. Calculate the frequencies
of two wives?

6. Why are all stringed instruments provided with hollow boxes? [2]

7. Two waves have equations:- [2]

X 1 = a Sin ( wt + φ1 ) X 2 = a Sin ( wt + φ2 )

If in the resultant wave, the amplitude remains equal to the amplitude of the super
posing waves. Calculate the phase difference between X1 and X2?

8. A Tuning fork of frequency 300HZ resonates with an air column closed at one end [2]
at 270C. How many beats will be heard in the vibration of the fork and the air
column at 00C?

9. A vehicle with horn of frequency ‘n’ is moving with a velocity of 30m|s in a [2]
direction perpendicular to the straight line joining the observer and the vehicle. If
the observer perceives the sound to have a frequency of n+n1. Calculate n1?

10. We cannot hear echo in a room. Explain? [2]

11. Show that the frequency of nth harmonic mode in a vibrating string which is closed [3]
at both the end is ‘n’ times the frequency of the first harmonic mode?
