A piston is fitted in a cylindrical tube...

A piston is fitted in a cylindrical tube of small cross section 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.

A long cylindrical tube carries a highly polished piston and has a side opening . A tuning fork of frequency n is sounded at the open end of the tube . The intensity of the sounded heard by the listener changes if the piston is moved in or out. At a particular position of the piston he hears a maximum sound . When the piston is moved through a distance of 9 cm , the intensity of sound becomes minimum. If the speed of sound is 360 m//s , the value of n is
