JEE Advanced · Physics · 16. Waves & Sound
In the experiment to determine the speed of sound using a resonance column:
- A Prongs of the tuning fork are kept in a vertical plane
- B Prongs of the tuning fork are kept in a horizontal plane
- C In one of the two resonances observed, the length of the resonating air column is close to the wavelength of sound in air
- D In one of the two resonances observed, the length of the resonating air column is close to half of the wavelength of sound in air

- List-I shows four configurations, each consisting of a pair of ideal electric dipoles. Each dipole has a dipole moment of magnitude \(p\), oriented as marked by arrows in the figures. In all the configurations the dipoles are fixed such that they are at a distance \(2 r\) apart along the \(x\) direction. The midpoint of the line joining the two dipoles is \(X\). The possible resultant electric fields \(\vec{E}\) at \(X\) are given in List-II. Choose the option that describes the correct match between the entries in List-I to those in List-II.
