At 23^ C , a pipe open at both ends resonates at a frequency of 450 hertz. At what frequency does the same pipe resonate on a hot day when the speed of sound is 4 percent higher than it would be at 23^ C ?
Options
- A446 ~Hz
- B454 ~Hz
- C468 ~Hz
- D459 ~Hz
Correct answer
C. 468 ~Hz
Step-by-step solution
f = v f v f ₁ f ₂ = v ₁ v ₂ 450 f ₂ = v ₁ 1.04 v ₁ f ₂=1.04 450=468 ~Hz
