In a resonance tube the first resonance with a tunning fork occurs at \(16 \mathrm{~cm}\) and second at \(49 \mathrm{~cm} .\) If the velocity of sound is \(330 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\), the frequency of tunning fork is

  1. A 500
  2. B 300
  3. C 330
  4. D 165
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 500

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For closed pipe \(l_{1}=\frac{v}{4 n}\) and \(l_{2}=\frac{3 v}{4 n}\)
\(
\begin{aligned}
v &=2 n\left(l_{2}-l_{1}\right) \\
n &=\frac{v}{2\left(l_{2}-l_{1}\right)} \\
&=\frac{330}{2 \times(0.49-0.16)}=500 \mathrm{~Hz}
\end{aligned}
