A long glass tube is held vertically in ...

A long glass tube is held vertically in water . A tuning fork is struck and held over the tube . Strong resonances are observed at two successive lengths `0.50 m and 0.84 m` above the surface of water . If the velocity of sound is `340 m//s`, then the frequency of the tuning fork is

A

125 Hz

B

256 Hz

C

500 Hz

D

750 Hz

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

`lambda = 2[l_(2) - l_(1)] = 68` cm
` :. n = V/lambda = (340 xx 100)/68=500` Hz

A long glass tube is held vertically , dipping into water, while a tuning fork of frequency 512 H_(Z) is respeatedly struck and held over the open end. Strong resonance is obtained, when the length of the tube above the surface of water is 50 cm and again 84 cm , but not at any intermediate point. Find the speed of sound of sound in air and next length of the air column for resonance.

In a resonance tube the first resonance with a tuning fork occurs at 16 cm and second at 49 cm . If the velocity of sound is 330 m/s , the frequency of tuning fork is

A vibrating tuning fork is held over a water column with one end closed and the other open. As the water level is allowed to fall, a loud sound is heard for water levels separated by 17 cm. If the speed of sound in air is 340 m/s, the frequency of the tuning fork is:
