In a resonance tube experiment to determine the speed of sound in air, a pipe of diameter `5 cm` is used . The column in pipe resonates with a tuning fork of frequency `480 H_(Z)` when the minimum length of the air column is `16 cm` . Find the speed in air column at room temperature.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`226 ms^(-1)`
Fundamental frequency
`f=(v)/(4(l+0.6r))`

`:.` Speed of sound `v = 4f (l + 0.6 r)`
`rArrv=(4)(480)[(0.16)+(0.6)(0.025)]=336m//s`.

In the experiment to determine the speed of sound using a resonance column -

In the experiment for the determination of the speed of sound in air using the resonance column method, the length of the air column that resonates in the fundamental mode, with a tuning fork is 0.1m . When this length is changed to 0.35m , the same tuning fork resonates with the first overtone. Calculate the end correction.

A metre - long tube open at one end, with a movalble piston at the other end, shows resonance with a fixed frequency source (a tunning fork of frequency 340 Hz)when the tube length is 25.5 cm or 79.3 cm. Estimate the speed of sound in air at the temperature of the experiment. The edge effects may be neglected.

A cylindrical tube (L = 120 cm) is in resonance with in tuning fork of frequency 330 Hz. If it is filling by water then to get resonance again, minimum length of water column is (V_("air") = 330 m//s) :-

A vibrating string of certain length l under a tension T resonates with a mode corresponding to the first overtone (third harmonic ) of an air column of length 75 cm inside a tube closed at one end. The string also generates 4 beats//s with a tuning fork of frequency n . Now when the tension of the string is slightly increased the number of beats reduces to 2 per second. Assuming the velocity of sound in air to 340 m//s , the frequency n the tuning fork in H_(Z) is (a) 344 (b) 336 (c ) 117.3 (d) 109.3

For one resonance tube, a tuning fork produces resonance when air column in it has minimum length 50 cm. Now, next length of air column when resonance is produced again is

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 narrow pipe of length 2m is closed at one end. The velocity of sound in air is 320 m/s. Neglecting end corrections , the air column in the pipe will resonate for sound of frequencies :

The air column in a pipe closed at one end is made to vibrate in its second overtone by a tuning fork of frequency 440 Hz . The speed of sound in air is 330ms^(-1) . End corrections may be neglected. Let P_(0) denote the mean pressure at any point in the pipe, and DeltaP the maximum amplitude of pressure variation. (a) What the length L of the air column. (b) What is the amplitude of pressure variation at the middle of the column? ( c ) What are the maximum and minimum pressures at the open end of the pipe? (d) What are the maximum and minimum pressures at the closed end of the pipe?

A thin tube of uniform cross-section is sealed at both ends. It lies horizontally, the middle 5 cm containing mercury and the two equal end containing air at the same pressure P. When the tube is held at an angle of 60^@ with the vetical direction, the length of the air column above and below the mercury column are 46 cm and 44.5 cm respectively. Calculate the pressure P in centimeters of mercury. (The temperature of the system is kept at 30^@C ).
