A light pointer fixed to one prong of a tuning fork touches gnetly a smoked vertical plate. The fork is set vibrating and the plate is allowed to fall freely. 8 complete oscilllations are counted when the plate falls through 10cm.What is the frequency of the tuning fork?

A light pointer fixed to one prong of a tuning fork touches gently a smoked vertical plate. The fork is set vibrating and the plate is allowed to fall freely. Two complete oscillations are traced when the plate falls through 40cm. What is the frequency ( in Hz ) of the tuning fork ?

A vibrating string of certain length l under a tension T resonates with a maode corresponding to the first overtone (third harmonic) of an air column of length 75cm inside a tube closed at one end. The string also gereates 4 beats per second when excited along with a tuning fork of frequency n . now when the tension of the string is slightly increased the number of beats reduces 2 per second. assuming the velocity of sound in air ti be 340 m//s , the frequency n of the tuning fork in Hz is

A vibrating string of certain length l under a tension T resonates with a mode corresponding to the first overtone (third harmonic ) of an air column of length 75 cm inside a tube closed at one end. The string also generates 4 beats//s with a tuning fork of frequency n . Now when the tension of the string is slightly increased the number of beats reduces to 2 per second.

A vibrating tuning fork tied to the end of a string 1.988 m long is whirled round a circle. If it makes two revolutions in a second, calculate the ratio of the frequencies of the highest and the lowest notes heard by an observer situated in the plane of the tuning fork. Valocity of sound is 350 m/s.

A plano creates sound by gently strinking a taut wire with a soft hammer when a key on the piano is pressed.All piano wires in a given piano are approximately the same length.However, each wire is tied down at two points.the bridge and the giraffe. The length of the wire between the bridge and the agraffe is called the speaking length.The speaking length is the part of the wire that resonates.The point of the wire struck by the hammer is displaced perpendicularly to the wire's length.A standing wave is generated by the hammer strike, where v is the velocity of travelling wave.T is the tension in the wire, and mu is the mass per unit length of the wire. v=sqrt(T/mu) Tuning a piano involves adjustment of the tension in the wires until just the right pitch is achieved.Correct pitch is achieved by listening to the beat frequency between the piano and a precalibrated tuning fork. A piano note is compared to a tuning fork vibrating at 440 Hz.Three beats per second are listened by the piano tunner.When the tension in the string is increased slightly, the beat frequency increases.What was the initial frequency of the piano wire ?

(a) In a resonance column experiment, a tuning fork of frequency 400 Hz is used. The first resonant is observed when the air column has a length of 20.0 cm and the second resonance is observed when the air column has a length of 62.0 cm . (i) Find the speed of sound in air. (ii) How much distance above the open end does the pressure mode form? (b) A piston is fitted in a cylindrical tube of small crosssection with the other end of the tube open. The tube resonates with a tuning fork of frequency 512 Hz . The piston is gradually pulled out of the tube and it is found that a second resonance occurs when the piston is pulled out through a distance of 32.0 cm . Calculate the speed of sound in the air of the tube.
