In resonance tube, first and second resonance are obtained at depths \(22.7 \mathrm{~cm}\) and \(70.2 \mathrm{~cm}\) respectively. The third resonance will be obtained at a depth

  1. A \(117.7 \mathrm{~cm}\)
  2. B \(92.9 \mathrm{~cm}\)
  3. C \(115.5 \mathrm{~cm}\)
  4. D \(113.5 \mathrm{~cm}\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(117.7 \mathrm{~cm}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

First resonance will occure at \(l_1+\mathrm{x}=\frac{\lambda}{4}\)
Second resonance will occure at \(l_2+\mathrm{x}=\frac{3 \lambda}{4}\)
Second resonance will occure at \(l_2+\mathrm{x}=\frac{3 \lambda}{4}\)
\(
\begin{aligned}
& l_2+\mathrm{x}=3\left(l_1+\mathrm{x}\right) \\
& l_2+\mathrm{x}=3 l_1+3 \mathrm{x} \\
& 2 \mathrm{x}=l_2-3 l_1 \\
& \therefore \quad \mathrm{x}=\frac{l_2-3 l_1}{2} \\
& \quad=\frac{70.2-68.1}{2}=1.05 \mathrm{~cm}
\end{aligned}
\)
\(\therefore \quad\) Third resonance occurs at \(l_3+\mathrm{x}=\frac{5 \lambda}{4}\)
\(
\begin{aligned}
\therefore \quad l_3 & =5\left(l_1+\mathrm{x}\right)-\mathrm{x} \\
& =5 l_1+4 \mathrm{x} \\
& =113.5+4.2 \\
& =117.7 \mathrm{~cm}
\end{aligned}
