MCQ
A second harmonic has to be generated in a string of length $l$ stretched between two rigid supports. The points where the string has to be plucked and touched are respectively
  • ✓
    $\frac{l}{4}, \frac{l}{2}$
  • B
    $\frac{l}{4}, \frac{3l}{4}$
  • C
    $\frac{l}{2}, \frac{l}{2}$
  • D
    $\frac{l}{2}, \frac{3l}{4}$
✓

Answer

Correct option: A.
$\frac{l}{4}, \frac{l}{2}$
a
(a)

In the $2^{\text {nd }}$ harmonic the shape of wave looks like.

The point of touching forms a node point of plucking forms an antinode. Hence, for $2^{\text {nd }}$ harmonic, we need to need wire touched at $\frac{l}{2}$ and pluck it at $\frac{l}{4}$.

There are two identical chambers, completely thermally insulated from surroundings. Both chambers have a partition wall dividing the chambers in two compartments. Compartment $1$ is filled with an ideal gas and Compartment $3$ is filled with a real gas. Compartments $2$ and $4$ are vacuum . A small hole (orifice) is made in the partition walls and the gases are allowed to expand in vacuum

Statement $-1$ : No change in the temperature of the gas takes place when ideal gas expands in vacuum. However, the temperature of real gas goes down (cooling) when it expands in vacuum

Statement $-2$ : The internal energy of an ideal gas is only kinetic. The internal energy of a real gas is kinetic as well as potential
