JEE Advanced · Physics · 16. Waves & Sound
Paragraph :
Two plane harmonic sound waves are expressed by the equations.
\(\begin{aligned}
& y_1(x, t)=A \cos (0.5 \pi x-100 \pi t) \\
& y_2(x, t)=A \cos (0.46 \pi x-92 \pi t)
\end{aligned}\)

Question :
How many times does an observer hear maximum intensity in one second?
- A 4
- B 10
- C 6
- D 8
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) 4
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
In one second number of maximas is called the beat frequency. Hence,
\(
f_b=f_1-f_2=\frac{100 \pi}{2 \pi}-\frac{92 \pi}{2 \pi}=4 \mathrm{~Hz}
\)
\(
f_b=f_1-f_2=\frac{100 \pi}{2 \pi}-\frac{92 \pi}{2 \pi}=4 \mathrm{~Hz}
\)

- Paragraph :
When liquid medicine of density \(\rho\) is to be put in the eye, it is done with the help of a dropper. As the bulb on the top of the dropper is pressed, a drop forms at the opening of the dropper. We wish to estimate the size of the drop.
We first assume that the drop formed at the opening is spherical because that requires a minimum increase in its surface energy. To determine the size, we calculate the net vertical force due to the surface tension \(T\) when the radius of the drop is \(R\). When this force becomes smaller than the weight of the drop, the drop gets detached from the dropper.
