Quincke’s tube Examples

Quincke's tube is used

A Quincke's tube is used

In a resonance tube experiment the difference between the first and second resonating lengths is 15 cm.Then the wavelength of the sound wave is

In young's experiment, the interfacing waves have amplitudes in the ratio 3:2 . Find the ratio of (a) amplitudes and (b) intensities, between the bright and dark fringers.

In Quincke's experiment on interference of sound a turning fork of frequency 540 Hz is used. Calculate the distance by which the sliding tube is to be drawn out to pass from one minimum to the next minimum. (Velocity of sound =350 m s^(-1) )

In Quincke's experiment, the sound intensity has a minimum value I at a particular position. As the sliding tube is pulled out by a distance of 16.5 mm, the intensity increases to a maximum of 9 I. Take the speed of sound in air to be 330 m s^-1. (a) Find the frequency of the sound source. (b) Find the ratio of the amplitudes of the two waves arriving at the detector assuming that it does not change much between the positions of minimum intensity and maximum intensity.

In Quincke's experiment the sound detected is changed from a maximum to a minimum when the sliding tube is moved through a distance of 2.50 cm. Find the frequency of sound if the speed of sound in air is 340 m s^-1 .
