A student performed the experiment to measured the speed of sound in air using resonance air-column method. Two resonances in the air-column were obtained by lowering the water level. The resonance with the shoter air-column is the first resinance and that with the longer air-column is the second resonance. then,

In an experiment to measure the speed of sound by a resonating air column, a tuning fork of frequency 500 Hz is used. The length of the air column is varied by changing the leavel of water in the resonance tube. Two successive resonances are heard at air columns of length 50.7 cm and 83.9 cm. Which of the following statements is (are) true?

In a resonance tube experiment to determine the speed of sound in air, a pipe of diameter 5 cm is used . The column in pipe resonates with a tuning fork of frequency 480 H_(Z) when the minimum length of the air column is 16 cm . Find the speed in air column at room temperature.

In the eperiment for the determinetion of the speed of sound in air using the resonance column method, the length of the air column that resonates in the fundamental mode, with a tuning fork is 0.1m . When this length is changed to 0.35m , the same tuning fork resonates with the first overone. calculate the end correction.

In a resonance tube experiment t determine the speed of sound in air, a pipe of diameter 5 cm is used.
