A tuning fork is used to produce resonance in a glass tube. The length of the air column in this tube can be adjusted by a variable piston. At room temperature of two successive resonances are produced at and of column length. If the frequency of the tuning fork is , the velocity of sound in air at is:
- A
- B
- C
- D
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
For two successive resonances in a closed tube (piston end):
Given .
The velocity of sound is .
Given .
The velocity of sound is .
