A tuning fork of frequency 480 Hz is used in an experiment for measuring speed of sound (v) in air by resonance tube method. Resonance is observed to occur at two successive lengths of the air column, l1 = 30 cm and l2 = 70 cm. Then, v is equal to

a)

332 ms−1

b)

384 ms−1

c)

379 ms−1

d)

338 ms−1

Answer Key / Explanation : (b) -

l1 = 30 cm, l2 = 70 cm

  = 40 cm

⇒  = 80 cm

 U== 480 × (0.8) m/s

                   =384 m/s
