how did you know you have to make a stationary wave like this with 4 nodes?
Since the tube is open at both ends antinode will be formed at each end. For this you will have to figure out different combinations of wavelength from the fundamental frequency

When the current is zero, the voltage corresponds to the emf of the cell
Since it is decreased, so the intercept will be lower, ruling out A and C
V/I is internal resistance of battery which has increased so the gradient of new graph will increase, making the answer B
sick, thanks

For destructive interference the path difference is 0.5λ, 1.5λ, 2.5λ, etc. For the first dark fringe i.e. n=1, it is 0.5λ so if u put the value of n in the C option so you will find that the p.d is 0.5λ, hence C is correct
genius, thanks again

Hi
need help, pls can someone explain me how to solve these questions
the answer are
27 C
28 D
27: The formula for path difference is (n-1/2)lamda
n=2, and you can find lamda using x=lamda(D)/a (the double slit formula)
Your lamda will turn out to be 4x10^-9 m
Now just insert the n and lamda into the path difference equation: (2-0.5)(4x10^-7)
Ans will be option C

28: For open tube/pipe, formula for lowest frequency is f=v/2L
v=fx(2L) ---- your open tube equation
For closed tube, formula for lowest frequency is: f=v/4L
v=fy(8L) ----- your closed tube equation
Solve the two equations algebraically now
fx(2L)=fy(8L)
fx=4Fy(D)

How'd you figure out Q28 without drawing a wave?

could you answer my question why the 2wavelength=length on previous page

how??? why did you assume 2wavelength equal length???
1 closed loop is half of wavelength we have read this during our course
In this diagram, there are 3 closed loops and 2 halves making a total of 4 complete loops...thus that is 2λ

I think it should be fx=V/L since there are two antinodes in X
For Fy, 4Fy=V/L
Wavelength/4 as only one antinode
I think im confused.

For fx although there are 2 antinodes but u can see in the diagram that it is 1 cmplt loop which means it is equal to half a wavelength

Is this statement regarding 1% correct?? But the extra 0.1 is 10%, not 1%
