The equation of vibration of a taut string, fixed at both ends, is given by; \(y=(3~\text{mm})~\text{cos}\left(\dfrac{\pi x}{10~\text{cm}}\right)~\text{sin}(800\pi~\text{s}^{-1}{t}).\) The positions of the nodes are:
1. \(x= 0~\text{cm}, 10~\text{cm}, 20~\text{cm},....\)
2. \(x= 0~\text{cm}, 20~\text{cm}, 40~\text{cm},....\)

Sinusoidal sound waves of the same frequency travelling in air along the \(x\)-axis and the \(y\)-axis arrive in phase with each other at the origin. Their amplitudes are equal to \(A\) (each). The amplitude of the vibration at the origin is:
               
1. \(A\)
2. \(\sqrt 2A\)
3. \(2A\)
4. \((2+\sqrt2)A\)

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. \(180~\text{Hz}\)
