A tuning fork is used to produce resonance in glass tuve. The length of the air column in the tube can be adjusted by a variable piston. At room temperature of `27^@C` two succesive resonance are produced at 20 cm and 73 cm column length. If the frequency of the tuning fork is 320 Hz. the velocity of sound is air at `27^(@)C` is

A

330 m/s

B

339 m/s

C

350 m/s

D

300 m/s

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

`v=2f(l_(2)-l_(1))`
`=2(320)xx(0.73-0.20)=(640)xx(0.5)=339.2m//s`
