i got it :D look
the horizontal line given is 7 cm
so scale is 4ms^-1 = 7
so 1 ms^-1 =1.75 cm
vertical velocity is 6.2
draw the resiltant it will be 7.4 :)
do u want me to post the diagram but its not neat :oops:?

Oh thanks a lot (y)
would appreciate if u could post it here or Inbox me :love:

Hello there, for B I)
We know that there is a stationary wave in that tube.
At antinodes which are maximum displacement, the wave pushes the heaps apart.
At nodes which are minimum displacement, the heaps are formed
This forms the dust heaps.

For B Ii)

Look at the figure, you'll see that the distance between 6 heaps is 0.39 meters

We know that this stationary wave's wavelength at these heaps is 2.5 Lambda.
Because it has Compression-Rarefaction-Compression and so on.
One wavelength is from C to C or from R to R.

We know Freuquncy F= 2140 Hz

We know speed of wave equation V= Lambda x F


We need 1 lambda and not 2.5 lambda so we need to convert.

0.39 m-----> 2.5 lambda
? ------------> 1 lambda

It's 0.156 m

So V= 2140 x 0.156=334m/s


Iii)
Stationary waves is formed by interference of incident and reflected waves
the speed is the speed of the incident waves

Can you explain how did you get the wavelength as 2.5 lambda

In question paper 21 can anyone explain Q)5) especially part b)?:)

Hey, for part b)

This is the key for this question: For minima to occur: Path difference= 0.5Lambda, 1.5 Lambda. 2.5 Lambda and so on...

If you look at the figure, you'll see that it's a right angled triangle, use paythagors theorem. You'll get S2M= 128 cm

Path diff= 128 - 100= 28 cm


Your range is from 1khz to 4 kHz

Use v= lambda x frequency
Speed = 330 m/s

Range of lambda= 8.25 cm to 33cm

Now, start trying, remember path diff= nlambda

So 28= 0.5 x Lambda, 56 not in allowed range
28= 1.5 x lambda, 18.6 allowed range
28= 2.5 x lambda , 11.2 allowed range

So 2 minima occur

(ii)According to Kirchhoff's second law: E1 = І2R2/2 + І1R2/2 + І1R1+ І1r1
As I2 and I1 both pass half through the metal wire their p.d. will be divided by two.
(iii) E2 and I3 is in negative direction. p.d. across R2 will be half as the other half is not included in the loop. I1 is common across R1, r1 and R2.
E1 – E2 = –І3r2 + І1 (R1 + r1 + R2 / 2)

I don't get why are we not including I2R2/2 in iii
