A resonance tube is old and has jagged end. It is still used in the laboratory to determine velocity of sound in air. A tuning fork of frequency \(512\,Hz\) produces first resonance when the tube is filled with water to a mark \(11\,cm\) below a reference mark, near the open end of the tube. The experiment is repeated with another fork of frequency \(256\,Hz\) which produces first resonance when water reaches a mark \(27\,cm\) below the reference mark. The velocity of sound in air, obtained in the experiment, is close to .... \(ms^{-1}\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(328\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\lambda_{1}=4(11+\mathrm{e}) =\frac{\mathrm{v}}{512}\)

\(\lambda_{2}=4(27+e)=\frac{V}{256}\)

\(\frac{11+e}{27+e}=\frac{1}{2}\)

\(\Rightarrow \quad 22+2 e=27+e\)

\(\Rightarrow \quad e=5\)
