In an experiment to measure the speed of sound by a resonating air column, a tuning fork of frequency is used. The length of the air column is varied by changing the level of water in the resonance tube. Two successive resonances are heard at air columns of length . Which of the following statements is (are) true?
- A The speed of sound determined from this experiment is
- B The end correction in this experiment is
- C The wavelength of the sound wave is
- D The resonance at corresponds to the fundamental harmonic
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) The speed of sound determined from this experiment is
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Let harmonic is corresponding to harmonic is corresponding . since both one consecutive harmonics.
There difference
length corresponding to fundamental mode must be close to must be an odd multiple of this length . therefore harmonic
If end correction is e, then

A spherical planet \(R\) also has uniform density \(\rho\) and its mass is \(\left(M_{P}+M_{Q}\right)\).

- Two co-axial conducting cylinders of same length \(\ell\) with radii \(\sqrt{2} R\) and \(2 R\) are kept, as shown in Fig. 1. The charge on the inner cylinder is \(Q\) and the outer cylinder is grounded. The annular region between the cylinders is filled with a material of dielectric constant \(\kappa=5\). Consider an imaginary plane of the same length \(\ell\) at a distance R from the common axis of the cylinders. This plane is parallel to the axis of the cylinders. The cross-sectional view of this arrangement is shown in Fig. 2. Ignoring edge effects, the flux of the electric field through the plane is ( \(\epsilon_0\) is the permittivity of free space):
JEE Advanced 2025 Hard - A cylindrical furnace has height and diameter both . It is maintained at temperature . The air getsheated inside the furnace at constant pressureand its temperature becomes . The hot air with density rises up a vertical chimney of diameter and height above the furnace and exits the chimney (seethe figure). As a result, atmospheric air of density,pressure and temperature entersthe furnace. Assume air as an ideal gas, neglect the variations inand inside the chimney and the furnace. Also ignore the viscous effects.
[Given: The acceleration due to gravityand]
When the chimney is closed using a cap at the top, a pressure difference develops between the top and the bottom surfaces of the cap. If the changes in the temperature and density of the hot air, due to the stoppage of air flow, are negligible then the value of is _____ .JEE Advanced 2023 Medium - Paragraph :
A thermally insulating cylinder has a thermally insulating and frictionless movable partition in the middle, as shown in the figure below. On each side of the partition, there is one mole of an ideal gas, with specific heat at constant volume, \(C_{V}=2 R\). Here, \(R\) is the gas constant. Initially, each side has a volume \(V_{0}\) and temperature \(T_{0}\). The left side has an electric heater, which is turned on at very low power to transfer heat \(Q\) to the gas on the left side. As a result the partition moves slowly towards the right reducing the right side volume to \(V_{0} / 2\). Consequently, the gas temperatures on the left and the right sides become \(T_{L}\) and \(T_{R}\), respectively. Ignore the changes in the temperatures of the cylinder, heater and the partition.

Modern trains are based on Maglev technology in which trains are magnetically leviated, which runs its EDS Maglev system.
There are coils on both sides of wheels. Due to motion of train, current induces in the coil of track which levitate it. This is in accordance with Lenz's law. If trains lower down then due to Lenz's law a repulsive force increases due to which train gets uplifted and if it goes much high then there is a net downward force disc to gravity. The advantage of Maglev train is that there is no friction between the train and the track, thereby reducing power consumption and enabling the train to attain very high speeds.
Disadvantage of Maglev train is that as it slows down the electromagnetic forces decreases and it becomes difficult to keep it leviated and as it moves forward according to Lenz law, there is an electromagnetic drag force.
