The resoN/Ant frquency of a closed organ pipe of length `l is (nv)/(4l)` where n is a positive odd integer and v is the speed of sound in air. To resoN/Ate with the given tuning fork
`(nv)/(4l)=264s^-1`
or `l=(nxx350ms^-1)/(4xx264s^-1)`
for l to be minimum `n=1 so that
l_(min)=350/(4xx264)m=33cm.

A pipe 20 cm long is closed at one end. Which harmonic mode of the pipe is resonantly excited by a 430 Hz source ? Will the same source be in resonane with the pipe if both end are open ? (speed of sound in air is 340 m s^(-1)) .

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.
