COMEDK · Physics · 16. Waves and Sound

In an experiment with sonometer a tuning fork of frequency \(256 \mathrm{~Hz}\) resonates with a length of \(25 \mathrm{~cm}\) and another tuning fork resonates with a length of \(16 \mathrm{~cm}\). Tension of the string remaining constant the frequency of the second tuning fork is

  1. A \(163.84 \mathrm{~Hz}\)
  2. B \(400 \mathrm{~Hz}\)
  3. C \(320 \mathrm{~Hz}\)
  4. D \(204.8 \mathrm{~Hz}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(400 \mathrm{~Hz}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The wavelength of the sound is proportional to the length of wire. Also, the velocity of sound is same in both cases, so…
