A one-meter long tube open at one end, with a movable piston at the other end, shows resonance with a fixed frequency source (a tuning fork of frequency \(340~\text{Hz}\)) when the minimum tube length is \(25.5~\text{cm}\). The speed of sound in air at the temperature of the experiment is: (The edge effects may be neglected.)
1. \(324.16~\text{m/s}\)
2. \(320~\text{m/s}\)
3. \(345~\text{m/s}\)
4. \(346.8~\text{m/s}\)

A bat emits an ultrasonic sound of frequency \(1000\) kHz in the air. If the sound meets a water surface, what is the wavelength of the reflected sound? (The speed of sound in air is \(340\) m/sec and in water is \(1486\) m/sec)
1. \(3.4 \times 10^{-4}~\text{m}\)
2. \(1 . 49 \times 10^{- 3}  ~ \text{m}\)
3. \(2 . 34 \times 10^{- 2}   ~\text{m}\)
4. \(1 . 73 \times10^{- 3}   ~\text{m}\)

A steel wire has a length of \(12.0\) m and a mass of \(2.10\) kg. What should be the tension in the wire so that the speed of a transverse wave on the wire equals the speed of sound in dry air, at \(20^{\circ}\text{C}\) (which is \(343\) m/s)?
1. \(4.3\times10^3\) N
2. \(3.2\times10^4\) N
3. \(2.06\times10^4\) N
4. \(1.2\times10^4\) N

A transverse wave moves from a medium \(A\) to a medium \(B\). In medium \(A\), the velocity of the transverse wave is \(500~\text{ms}^{-1}\) and the wavelength is \(5~\text{m}\). The frequency and the wavelength of the wave in medium \(B\) when its velocity is \(600~\text{ms}^{-1}\), respectively are:
