A tuning fork of frequency `480 Hz` is used in an experiment for measuring speed of sound (v) in air by resonance tube method. Resonance is observed to occur at two successive lengths of the air column, `l_(1) = 30 cm` and `l_(2) = 70 cm`. Then, `v` is equal to :

A

`379ms^(-1)`

B

`332ms^(-1)`

C

`338ms^(-1)`

D

`384ms^(-1)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

`lambda = 2(l_(2)-l_(1))` (Resonance column exp.)
=` 2 xx 40 cm`
`V = 480 xx 80 = 384 m//s`

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, A. the intensity of the sound heard at the first resonance was more than at the second resonance B. the prongs of the tuning fork were kept in a horizontal plane above the resonance tube C. the ampitude of vibration of the end of the prongs is typically around 1 cm D. the length of the air-column at the first resonance was somewhat than 1//4 th of the wavelength of the sound in air.
