A sound source of constant frequency resonates with an open end organ pipe of length

30 \mathrm{~cm}

and a close end organ pipe of length

23 \mathrm{~cm}

(both of same diameter). Both pipes are sounding their first overtone. If velocity of sound is

340 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}

, then find the end correction in

\mathrm{cm}

.

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

1

Option A (1) is correct because the end correction can be found by equating the frequencies of the two pipes and solving for the end correction.

sound wave in air strikes the surface of a lake and penetrates into water. If speed of sound in water is

1500\,\,\mathrm{m}{\mathrm{s}^{ - 1}}

, the frequency and wavelength of waves in water are The equation for spherical progressive wave is (where

r

is the distance from the source) One metre long tube, closed at both ends, is lying horizontally. A mercury column of length 0.1m is filled in its middle and in rest two parts air is filled at atmospheric pressure. When tube is turned to vertical position, then displacement of mercury will be (standard pressure = 0.76 m of Hg) A tuning fork produces waves in a medium. If the temperature of the medium changes, then which of the following will change In a stationary wave all the particles A SONAR system fixed in a submarine operates at a frequency
