  1. A 35 cm
  2. B 40 cm
  3. C 47 cm
  4. D 64 cm
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 47 cm

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let the shortest length be denoted as
\(l_1=15.0 \mathrm{~cm}\)
The end correction, \(\mathrm{e}=1.0 \mathrm{~cm}\)
\(l_1+\mathrm{e}=\frac{\lambda}{4}\)
Now, \(l_2+\mathrm{e}=\frac{3 \lambda}{4}\)
\(\begin{array}{ll}
\therefore & \frac{l_1+\mathrm{e}}{l_2+\mathrm{e}}=\frac{1}{3} \\
\therefore & \frac{15+1}{l_2+1}=\frac{1}{3} \\
\therefore & l_2+1=48 \\
\therefore & l_2=47 \mathrm{~cm}
\end{array}\)
