The air column in a pipe which is closed...

The air column in a pipe which is closed at one end will be in resonance with a vibrating tuning fork at a frequency 250 Hz. If the length of the air column is :

A

33 cm

B

62. cm

C

45 cm

D

12.5 cm .

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

For resonance frequency of air column = frequency of tunning fork .
`therefore (V)/(4l) = v " " rArr " " l = (V)/(4v)`
l ` = (332)/(4 xx 250) = 0.53 m = 33 ` cm .
Hence the correct choice is (a) .

A metre long tube open at one end with a movable piston at the other end, shows resonance with a fixed frequency source ( a tuning fork of frequency 340Hz) when the tube length is 0.255m or 0.793m. Estimate the speed of sound in air at the temperature of the experiment. The edge effects may be neglected.

A glass tube is open at both the ends.A tuning fork of frequency f resonates with the air column inside the tube.Now the tube is placed vertically inside water so that half the length of the tube is filled with water.Now the air column inside the tube is in unison with another fork of frequency f'.
