MHT CET · Physics · Waves and Sound
Two tuning forks of frequencies \(320 \mathrm{~Hz}\) and \(480 \mathrm{~Hz}\) are sounded together to produce sound waves. They velocity of sound in air is \(320 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\). The difference between wavelengths of these waves is nearly
- A 48 cm
- B 16.5 cm
- C 33 cm
- D 42 cm
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) 33 cm
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\begin{aligned} & \lambda_1-\lambda_2=\frac{\mathrm{V}}{\mathrm{f}_1}-\frac{\mathrm{V}}{\mathrm{f}_2} \\ & =\frac{320}{320}-\frac{320}{480} \\ & =1-\frac{2}{3}=\frac{1}{3} \mathrm{~m}=0.33 \mathrm{~m}=33 \mathrm{~cm}\end{aligned}\)
