A tuning fork of frequency \(340\,Hz\) resonates in the fundamental mode with an air column of length \(125\,cm\) in a cylindrical tube closed at one end. When water is slowly poured in it, the minimum height of water required for observing resonance once again is________ \(cm\) (Velocity of sound in air is \(340\,ms ^{-1}\) )

Pick an option to check your answer.
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(50\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Assumption : Ignore word "fundamental mode" in question.

\(\lambda=\frac{ V }{ f }=\frac{340}{340}=1\,m\)

First resonating length \(=\frac{\lambda}{4}=25\,cm\)

Second resonating length \(=\frac{3 \lambda}{4}=75\,cm\)

Third resonating length \(=\frac{5 \lambda}{4}=125\,cm\)

Height of water required \(=125-75=50\,cm\)
