A hollow metallic tube of length L and closed at one end produce resonance with a tuning fork of frequency n. The entire tube is then heated carefully so that at equilibrium temperature its length changes by l . If the change in velocity V of sound is v, the resonance will now produced by tuning fork of frequency :-

If in an experiment for determination of velocity of sound by resonance tube method using a tuning fork of 512 Hz , first resonance was observed at 30.7 cm and second was obtained at 63.2 cm , then maximum possible error in velocity of sound is (consider actual speed of sound in air is 332m//s

An organ pipe of length L open at both ends is found to vibrate in its first harmonic when sounded with a tuning fork of 480 Hz. What should be the length of a pipe closed at one end, so that it also vibrates in its first harmonic with the same tuning fork ?

A tuning fork is used to produce resonance in a glass tube. The length of the air column in this tube can be adjusted by a variable piston. At room temperature of 27 ^(@)C two successive resonance are produced at 20 cm and 73 cm of column length. If the frequency of the tuning fork is 320 Hz, the velocity of sound in air at 27^(@) C is

An open organ pipe filled with air has a fundamental frequency 500 Hz. The first harmonic of another organ pipe closed at one end and filled with carbon dioxide has the same frequency as that of the first harmonic of the open organ pipe. Calculate the length of each pipe. Assume that the velocity of sound in air and in carbondioxide to be 330 and 264 m/s respectively.

A bat emits ultrasonic sound of frequency 100 kHz in air. If this sound meets a water surface, the wavelengths of the reflected and transmitted sound are (Speed of sound in air = 340 m s^(-1) and in water = 1500 m s^(-1) )

A whistle of frequency 500 Hz tied to the end of a string of length 1.2 m revolves at 400 rev / min . A listener standing some distance away in the plane of rotation of whistle hears frequencies in the range (speed of sound = 340 m / s )

A pipe 20 cm long is closed at one end. Which harmonic mode of the pipe is resonantly excited by a 430 Hz source ? Will the same source be in resonane with the pipe if both end are open ? (speed of sound in air is 340 m s^(-1)) .

A 3.6m long vertical pipe resonates with a source of frequency 212.5 Hz when water level is at certain height in the pipe. Find the height of water level (from the bottom of the pipe) at which resonance occurs. Neglect end correction. Now , the pipe is filled to a height H (~~ 3.6m) . A small hole is drilled very close to its bottom and water is allowed to leak. Obtain an expression for the rate of fall of water level in the pipe as a function of H . If the radii of the pipe and the hole are 2 xx 10^(-2)m and 1 xx 10^(-3)m respectively, Calculate the time interval between the occurance of first two resonances. Speed of sound in air 340m//s and g = 10m//s^(2) .
