State two ways in which resonance differs from forced vibrations.

उत्तर
(i) In resonance it is necessary that the frequency of externally applied force should be equal to the natural frequency of the body whereas, it is not necessary for forced vibrations.
(ii) In forced oscillations, the amplitude of oscillations is small whereas, in resonance the amplitude of vibration is large.

The adjacent diagram shows three different modes of vibrations P, Q and R of the same string.

(i) Which vibration will produce a louder sound and why?
(ii) The sound of which string will have maximum shrillness?
(iii) State the ratio of wavelengths of P and R.

The diagram above shows a wire stretched over a sonometer. Stems of two vibrating tuning forks A and Bare touched to the wooden box of the sonometer. It is observed that the paper rider (a small piece of paper folded at the centre) present on the wire flies off when the stem of vibrating tuning fork B is touched to the wooden box but the paper just vibrates when the stem of vibrating tuning fork A is touched to the wooden box.
1) Name the phenomenon when the paper rider just vibrates.
2) Name the phenomenon when the paper rider flies off.
3) Why does the paper rider fly off when the stem of tuning fork B is touched to the box?
Differentiate between the forced and resonant vibrations.
Why are the stringed instruments like guitar provided with a hollow sound box?
In fig. shows two tuning forks P and Q of the same frequency mounted on separate sound boxes with their open ends facing each other. The fork A is set into vibration. (i) Describe your observation. (ii) State the principle illustrated by this experiment.

Differentiate between the following:
Light and sound waves.
Explain a tuning fork (vibrating) is held close to ear. One hears a faint sound. The same vibrating tuning fork is placed on table, such that its handle is in contact with table, one hears a loud sound.
