Question

1)If the length of the tube used in our experiment is 4 m, how many resonances would you observe when a tuning fork of frequency 512 Hz is used in air where the speed of sound is334.4 m/s? (For this question, the length of the tube is of the entire plastic cylinder, and not the adjustable length of the air column.)

If the length of the tube used in our experiment is 4 m, how many resonances would you observe when a tuning fork of frequency 512 Hz is used in air where the speed of sound is334.4 m/s? (For this question, the length of the tube is of the entire plastic cylinder, and not the adjustable length of the air column.) A student is using a resonance tube and determines that three resonances occur at distances of L1 = 0.111 m, L2 = 0.328 m, and L3 = 0.549 m below the open end of the tube. The frequency of the tuning fork used is 7.68 times 102 Hz. What is the average speed of sound from these data?

Explanation / Answer

L2 - L1 = L3 - L2 = L4- L3 = lambda/2

lambda 1 = 2*(L2 - L1) = 0.434

v1= 333.31

lambda 2 = ( L3 - L2) = 0.221

v2= 169.728

lambda 3 = 2/3*( L4- L3)

V = lambda*f

= lambda(avg) * 768

= 0.3385*768 = 251.52 m/s

as we can see from above velocities average is same as we are getting finally .. thanks

hope this helps!!!!
