4.
In a guitar, two strings \(A\) and \(B\) made of same material are slightly out of tune and produce beats of frequency \(6\,Hz\). When tension in \(B\) is slightly decreased, the beat frequency increases to \(7\,Hz\). If the frequency of \(A\) is \(530\,Hz\), the original frequency of \(B\) will be

A tuning fork is used to produce resonance in a glass tube. The length of the air column in this tube can be adjusted by a variable piston. At room temperature of \(27^\circ C\) two successive resonances are produced at \(20\,cm\) and \(73\,cm\) of column length. If the frequency of the tuning fork is \(320\,Hz\), the velocity of sound in air at \(27^\circ C\) is

A uniform rope of length \(L\) and mass \(m_1\) hangs vertically from a rigid support. A block of mass \(m_2\) is attached to the free end of the rope. A transverse pulse of wavelength \(λ_1\) is produced at the lower end of the rope. The wavelength of the pulse when it reaches the top of the rope is \(λ_2\).The ratio \(\displaystyle \frac{λ_1}{λ_2}\) is
