A student performed the experiment to measure the speed of sound in air using resonance air-column method. Two resonances in the air-column were obtained by lowering the water level. The resonance with the shorter air-column is the first resonance and that with the longer air-column is the second resonance. Then,

Speed of sound in air at STP is…..

    Assertion : Compared to winter, sound travels faster in summer. Reason: Speed of sound is proportional to square of absolute temperature of air.

    A steel wire has a length of 12.0 m and a mass of 2.10 kg. What should be the tension in the wire is so that speed of a transverse wave on the wire equals the speed of sound in dry air is 343 ms ^(-1).

    A source of sound of frequency 600 Hz is placed inside water. The speed of sound in water is 1500 m//s and in air it is 300 m//s . The frequency of sounds recorded by an observer who is standing in air is :-

    Assertion : Change in pressure at constant temperature causes change in the speed of sound. Reason : Speed of sound in air is directly proportional to square of pressure.

    A steel wire has a length of 12.0m and a mass of 2.10kg. What should be the tension in the wire so that speed of a transverse wave on the wire equals the speed of sound in dry air at 20^(@)C= 343ms^(-1)
