    When sunlight passes through glass prism which light deviates the least ?

    A piston is fitted in a cylindrical tube of small cross section with the other end of the tube open. The tube resonates with a tuning fork of frequency 512 Hz. The piston is gradually pulled out of the tube and it is found that a second resonance occurs when the piston is pulled out through a distance of 32.0 cm. Calculate the speed of sound in the air of the tube.

    Consider a cylindrical tube closed at one end and fitted with a conducting, movable piston at the other end. A cathode is fixed in the tube near the closed end and an anode is fixed with the piston. A gas is filled in the tube at pressure p . Using Paschen equation V = f(pd), show that the sparking potential does not change as the piston is slowly moved in or out. Assume that the temperature does not change in the process.

    An adiabatic cylindrical tube of cross-sectional area 1 cm^(2) is closed at one end fitted with a piston at the other end. The tube contains 0.03 g of an ideal gas . At 1 atm pressure and at the temperature of the surrounding, the length of the gas column is 40cm .The piston is suddenly pulled out to double the length of the column. The pressure of the gas falls to 0.355 atm . Find the speed of sound in the gas at atmospheric temperature.
