Question
In a head-on collision between two particles, is it necessary that the particles will acquire a common velocity at least for one instant?
✓
Answer
It is not necessary that in a head on collision the particles would acquire same initial velocity it is possible in elastic collision but it is not necessary.

If we put a cardboard (say 20cm × 20cm) between a light source and our eyes, we can't see the light. But when we put the same cardboard between a sound source and our ear, we hear the sound almost clearly. Explain.
Sound waves from a loudspeaker spread nearly uniformly in all directions if the wavelength of the sound is much larger than the diameter of the loudspeaker.
- Calculate the frequency for which the wavelength of sound in air is ten times the diameter of the speaker if the diameter is 20cm.
- Sound is essentially transmitted in the forward direction if the wavelength is much shorter than the diameter of the speaker. Calculate the frequency at which the wavelength of the sound is one tenth of the diameter of the speaker described above. Take the speed of sound to be 340m/s.
