A tunning fork of frequency 480 H z is used in an experiment for measuring speed of sound v in air by resonance tube method. Resonance is observed to occur at two successive lengths of the air column, l 1 = 30   c m and l 2 = 70    c m . Then, ν is equal to:
Options
- A384 m s - 1
- B332 m s - 1
- C338 m s - 1
- D379 m s - 1
Correct answer
A. 384 m s - 1
Step-by-step solution
Speed of sound, v = 2 f l 2 - l 1 = 2 × 480 0.70 - 0.30 = 384 m / s
