Find the frequency of minimum distance between compression and rarefaction of a wire. If the length of the wire is lm and velocity of sound in air is 360 m//s

Explain Laplace's correction to the Newton's formula for velocity of sound in air.

A sound wave is passing through air column in the form of compression and rarefaction . In consecutive compressions and rarefactions,

Questions based on paragraph : Sound is propagated in a material medium in the form of compression and rarefactions. One compression and one rarefaction together form one cycle of the sound wave. The number of cycles produced per second is called as frequency. A tuning fork is a two-pronged device which vibrates to produce sound when struck. The frequency of a tuning fork is decided by the dimensions of the prong and the material used for making the fork. When these sound waves reach ears of listener, his ear-drum vibrates. Accordingly specific signals are conveyed to the brain and the listener gets a sense of hearing sound. : When vibrations are produced, what physical properties of air are changed?

Assertion: For sound waves, air is rarer medium than water. Reason: For sound waves, the density of water is greater than air.

Write whether the following statement are true or false rewrite the false statement after correcting them: Enclosed air is a good conductor of heat.

A pipe closed at one end has length 83 cm. The number of possible natural oscilations of air column whose frequencies lie below 1000 Hz are (take, velocity of sound in air 332 m/s)

Answer the following : If sound waves are generated in air, what moves away from the source? Is it the air itself or the state of compression and rarefaction created in the air?

Assertion: The change in air pressure affects the speed of sound. Reason: The speed of sound in gases is proportional to the square of pressure.

A pipe of length 85cm is closed from one end. Find the number of possible natural oscillations of air column in the pipe whose frequencies lie below 1250 Hz . The velocity of sound in air is 340m//s .
