The piston (massless and frictionless) cylinder arrangement shown contains oxygen gas
at certain temperature. The cross-sectional area of the cylinder is 0.5 m2 and gas column
length is 1m. When stationary wave is setup inside gas the fundamental frequency produced
is 100 Hz. Now the piston is pushed to reduce the gas column length to half without any
heat loss and now piston is fixed [atmospheric pressure = 105 N/m2 and 20.4 = 1.32]. The
percentage change in fundamental frequency is 120n0. Find n0.

A series of pulses, each of amplitude 0.150m are sent down a string that is rigidly attached
to a wall at one end. The pulses are reflected at the wall and travel back along the string
without loss of amplitude. When two waves are present in the string, the net displacement (y)
of a point on the string where two pulses are crossing is :
(a) y =0.150m
(b) y = 0.300 m
(c) 0.150 <y<0.300m
(d) Zero
