JEE MAIN - Physics (2019 - 9th April Morning Slot - No. 18)

The pressure wave, P = 0.01 sin [1000t – 3x] Nm–2, corresponds to the sound produced by a vibrating blade on a day when atmospheric temperature is 0°C. On some other day, when temperature is T, the speed of sound produced by the same blade and at the same frequency is found to be 336 ms–1 . Approximate value of T is
12°C
15°C
4°C
11°C

Explanation

Speed of wave from wave equation

$$v = - {{\left( {coeffecient{\rm{ }}of{\rm{ }}t} \right)} \over {\left( {coeffecient{\rm{ }}of{\rm{ }}x} \right){\rm{ }}}}$$

$$v = - {{1000} \over {( - 3)}} = {{1000} \over 3}$$

Since speed of wave $$ \propto \sqrt T $$

So $$ = {{1000} \over {{3 \over {336}}}} = \sqrt {{{273} \over T}} $$

$$ \Rightarrow $$ T = 277.41 K

T = 4.41°C
