A cylinder ABC consists of two chambers ...

A cylinder ABC consists of two chambers 1 and 2 which contains two different gases. The wall C is rigid but the walls A and B are thin diaphragms. A vibrating tuning fork approaches the wall A with velocity `u = 30 m//s` and air column in chamber 1 and 2 vibrates with minimum frequency such that there is node (displacement) at B and antinode (displacement) at A. Find :
(i) the fundamental frequency of air column
(ii) find the frequency of tuning fork.
Assume velocity of sound in the first and second chamber be 1100 m/s and 300 m/s respectively.
.

A column of air at 51^(@) C and a tuning fork produce 4 beats per second when sounded together. As the temperature of the air column is decreased, the number of beats per second tends to decrease and when the temperature is 16^(@) C the two produce 1 beat per second. Find the frequency of the tuning fork.

16 tuning forks are arranged in increasing order of frequency. Any two consecutive tuning forks when sounded together produce 8 beats per second. If the frequency of last tuning fork is twice that of first, the frequency of first tuning fork is :-

When two violin wires with different fundamental frequencies are vibrated to play some music, can they produce resonance ?

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
