JEE Advanced · Physics · 16. Waves & Sound

Paragraph :
Two plane harmonic sound waves are expressed by the equations.
\(
\begin{aligned}
& y_1(x, t)=A \cos (0.5 \pi x-100 \pi t) \\
& y_2(x, t)=A \cos (0.46 \pi x-92 \pi t)
\end{aligned}
\)
(All parameters are in MKS)
Question :
What is the speed of the sound?

  1. A \(200 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\)
  2. B \(180 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\)
  3. C \(192 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\)
  4. D \(96 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(200 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Speed of wave \(v=\frac{\omega}{R}\) or \(\quad v=\frac{100 \pi}{0.5 \pi}\) or \(\frac{92 \pi}{0.46 \pi}=200 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\)
