MCQ
If you set up the seventh harmonic on a string fixed at both ends, how many nodes and antinodes are set up in it
- ✓$8, 7$
- B$7, 7$
- C$8, 9$
- D$9, 8$
✓
Answer
Correct option: A.
$8, 7$
a
(a) String will vibrate in $7$ loops so it will have $8$ nodes $7$ antinodes.
(a) String will vibrate in $7$ loops so it will have $8$ nodes $7$ antinodes.
Number of harmonics = Number of loops = Number of antinodes
$⇒$ Number of antinodes $= 7$
Hence number of nodes = Number of antinodes $+ 1 = 7 + 1 = 8$

A bubble has surface tension $S$. The ideal gas inside the bubble has ratio of specific heats $\gamma=\frac{5}{3}$. The bubble is exposed to the atmosphere and it always retains its spherical shape. When the atmospheric pressure is $P_{a 1}$, the radius of the bubble is found to be $r_1$ and the temperature of the enclosed gas is $T_1$. When the atmospheric pressure is $P_{a 2}$, the radius of the bubble and the temperature of the enclosed gas are $r_2$ and $T_2$, respectively.
→Which of the following statement($s$) is(are) correct?
$(A)$ If the surface of the bubble is a perfect heat insulator, then $\left(\frac{r_1}{r_2}\right)^5=\frac{P_{a 2}+\frac{2 S}{r_2}}{P_{a 1}+\frac{2 S}{r_1}}$
$(B)$ If the surface of the bubble is a perfect heat insulator, then the total internal energy of the bubble including its surface energy does not change with the external atmospheric pressure.
$(C)$ If the surface of the bubble is a perfect heat conductor and the change in atmospheric temperature is negligible, then $\left(\frac{r_1}{r_2}\right)^3=\frac{P_{a 2}+\frac{4 S}{r_2}}{P_{a 1}+\frac{4 S}{r_1}}$.
$(D)$ If the surface of the bubble is a perfect heat insulator, then $\left(\frac{T_2}{T_1}\right)^{\frac{5}{2}}=\frac{P_{a 2}+\frac{4 S}{r_2}}{P_{a 1}+\frac{4 S}{r_1}}$.
