Explain the concepts of fundamental frequency, harmonics and overtones in detail.

What is a sonometer? Give its construction and working. Explain how to determine the frequency of tuning fork using a sonometer.

A sound wave is transmitted into a tube as shown in the figure. The sound wave splits into two waves at point A which recombine at point B. Let R be the radius of the semi-circle which is varied until the first minimum. Calculate the radius of the semi-circle if the wavelength of the sound is 50.0 m.

Police in a siren car moving with a velocity 20 ms^– chases a thief who is moving in a car with a velocity v₀ ms^-1. The police car sounds at frequency 300 Hz, and both of them move towards a stationary siren of frequency 400 Hz. Calculate the speed in which thief is moving. (Assume the thief does not observe any beat)
