When two identical loudspeakers playing the same frequency are placed equidistant from an observer, a sound of \(60\) dB is heard if the sources are in phase with each other. However, if the two speakers are out of phase, no sound is heard. If the speakers are played with a phase difference of \(90^\circ,\) the sound heard will be:
1. \(30\sqrt2\) dB
2. \((60+\sqrt2)\) dB
3. \(57\) dB
4. \(60\sqrt2\) dB

A string \((AB)\) under tension has a fundamental frequency of \(120~\text{Hz}.\) The string is set into vibration and a point \(P\) is held down by a finger so that it becomes a node (i.e., \(P\) does not vibrate):\(\Large\frac{AP}{PB}=\frac12.\) The lowest frequency for which this happens is:

           
1. \(120~\text{Hz}\)
2. \(240~\text{Hz}\)
3. \(360~\text{Hz}\)
4. \(180~\text{Hz}\)

A gas is taken in a closed transparent tube, some lycopodium powder is spread within the tube, and the tube is placed horizontally. When the mouth of the tube is vibrated with a tuning fork of frequency \(1~\text{kHz,}\) and the length of the tube is adjusted: the powder is observed to collect in a wave-like pattern with adjacent 'maxima' separated by \(20~\text{cm}.\) The speed of sound in the gas is:
1. \(100~\text{m/s}\) 2. \(200~\text{m/s}\)
3. \(400~\text{m/s}\) 4. \(800~\text{m/s}\)
