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

A

256 cm/sec

B

80 cm/sec

C

102.4 cm/sec

D

204.8 cm/sec

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`v=flamda=2f(l_(2)-l_(1))`
`=512xx2(63.2-30.7)xx10^(-2)=332.8ms^(-1)`
`(Deltav)/(v)=((Deltalamda)/(lamda))=((Deltal_(2)+Deltal_(1))/(l_(2)-l_(1)))`
`rArr Deltav=v((Deltal_(2)+Deltal_(1))/(l_(2)-l_(1)))=(332.8)((0.1+0.1)/(32.5))=2.048 m//s`.

A tuning fork of 512 H_(Z) is used to produce resonance in a resonance tube expertiment. The level of water at first resonance is 30.7 cm and at second resonance is 63.2 cm . The error in calculating velocity of sound is (a) 204.1 cm//s (b) 110 cm//s (c) 58 cm//s (d) 280 cm//s

The internal radius of a 1m long resonance tube is measured as 3.0 cm. A tuning fork of frequency 2000 Hz is used. The first resonating length is measured as 4.5 cm and the second resonating length is measured as 14.0 cm. We shall calculate the following.

A student performed the experiment of determination of focal length of a concave mirror by u-v method using an optical bench of length 1.5 meter. The focal length of the mirror used is 24 cm. The maximum error in the location of the image can be 0.2 cm. The 5 sets of (u,v) values recorded by the student (in cm) are: (42,56),(48,48),(60,40),(66,33),(78,39) . The data set (s) that cannot come from experiment and is (are) incorrectly recorded, is (are)

An observer standing on a railway crossing receives frequencies 2.2 kHz and 1.8 kHz when the tran approaches and recedes from the observer. Find the velocity of the train (speed of sound in air is 300 m/s).

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 siren emitting sound of frequency 800 Hz is going away from a static listener with a speed of 30 m/s. Frequency of the sound to be heard by the listener is (Take velocity of sound as 330 m/s)

A sonometer wire under tension of 64 N vibrating in its fundamental mode is in resonance with a vibrating tuning fork. The vibrating portion of the sonometer wire has a length of 10 cm and mass of 1 kg. The vibrating tuning fork is now moved away from the vibrating wire with a constant speed and an observer standing near the sonometer hears one beat per second. Calculate the speed with which the tuning fork is moved, if the speed of sound in air is 300 m/s.

A pipe, 30.0 cm long. Is open at both ends. Which harmonic mode of the pipe resonates a 1.1 kHz source? Will resonance with the same source be observed if one end of the pipe is closed ? Take the speed of sound in air as 330 m s^(-1) .
