If a tuning fork of frequency (340±1%) is used in the resonance tube method and the first and second resonance lengths are 20.0 cm and 74.0 cm respectively. Find the maximum possible percentage error in speed of sound.

a
2.37%
b
3.37%
c
1.37%
d
0.37%

detailed solution

Correct option is C

l1=20.0 cmΔl1=0.1 cml2=74.0 cmΔl2=0.1 cmΔvv×100=Δff×100+Δl1+Δl2l2-l1×100=1%+0.1+0.174.0-20.0×100=1%+0.37%=1.37%

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).
