(Question 11 to 14 carries 3 scores each) (3×4=12)


11. Burette filled with water. The tap is opened and the water level gradually falls. It is
observed that the sound becomes the loudest for a particular length of air column.
(a) What is the name of the phenomenon taking place when this happens?
(b) Why does the sound become the loudest?
(c) What is the name of the phenomenon taking place when sound is produced for another
length of air column and is not the loudest?

12. A person standing in front of a cliff fires a gun and hears its echo after 3 s. If the speed of
sound in air is 336 ms-1.
(a) Calculate the distance of the person from the cliff.
(b) After moving a certain distance from the cliff, he fires the gun again and this time the
echo is heard 1.5 s later than the first. Calculate the distance that the person moved.

13. A person standing at a distance x in front of a cliff fires a gun. Another person B standing
behind the person A at a distance y from the cliff hears two sounds of the fired shot after
2 s and 3 s respectively. Calculate x and y (take speed of sound 320 ms-1)

14. In the diagram below A,B,C,D, are four pendulums suspended from the same elastic string
PQ. The length of A and C are equal to each other while the length of pendulum B is smaller
that of D. Pendulum A is set into a mode of vibrations.

(ii) What is the state of pendulum C?
(iii) State the reason for the type of vibrations in pendulums B and C.
