Questions and Answers

What type of wave is a sound wave?

Mechanical Classical Wave (correct)

Electromagnetic Wave

Matter Wave

None of the above

What happens when two sound waves of slightly different frequencies mix with each other?

Beats are formed (correct)

Standing waves are formed

Supersonic waves are formed

Shock waves are formed

What is the equation governing the propagation of disturbance in a classical wave?

$v = f \lambda$

$\frac{\partial^2f}{\partial t^2} = c^2\frac{\partial^2f}{\partial x^2}$ (correct)

$f = \frac{1}{T}$

$\frac{\partial^2f}{\partial x^2} = 2\frac{\partial f}{\partial x}\frac{\partial f}{\partial t}$
