In the experiment for the determination of the speed of sound in air using the resonance column method, the length of the air column that resonates in the fundamental mode, with a tuning fork is 0.1 m. when this length is changed to 0.35 m, the same tuning fork resonates with the first overtone. Calculate the end correction

a
0.012m
b
0.025m
c
0.05m
d
0.024m

detailed solution

Correct option is B

Let x be the end correction then according to question.v4(l1+x)=3v4(l2+x)⇒x=2.5 cm=0.025 m

A tube of certain diameter and of length 48 cm is open at both ends. Its fundamental frequency of resonance is found to be 320 Hz. The velocity of sound in air is 320 m/s. One end of the tube is now closed, considering the effect of end correction, calculate the lowest frequency of resonance for the tube (in Hz).
