In a sonometer experiment, resonance is obtained when the experimental wire has a length of 21 cm between the bridges and the vibrations are excited by a tuning fork of frequency 256 Hz. If a tuning fork of frequency6 384 Hz is used, what should be the lenght of the experimental wire to get the resonance.

By the law of length `l_1v_l=l_2v_2`
or `l_2=v_1/v_2=256/384xx21cm=14cm.

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

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.

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.
