In a resonance tube experiment when the tube is filled with water up to a height of 17.0cm,17 . 0cm\text{,} from bottom, it resonates with a given tuning fork. When the water level is raised the next resonance with the same tuning fork occurs at a height of 24.5cm.24 . 5cm\text{.} If the velocity of sound in air is 330ms−1,330m{s}^{- 1}\text{,} the tuning fork frequency is :

Options

  1. A2200Hz2200Hz
  2. B550Hz550Hz
  3. C1100Hz1100Hz
  4. D3300Hz3300Hz

Correct answer

A. 2200Hz2200Hz

Step-by-step solution

λ2=24.5−17=7.5cm\dfrac{\lambda}{2} = 24 . 5 - 17 = 7 . 5cm

f=Vλf = \dfrac{V}{\lambda}

=330×10015=2200Hz= \dfrac{330 \times 100}{15} = 2200Hz
