A resonance tube is old and has a jagged end. It is still used in the laboratory to determine the velocity of sound in air. A tuning fork of frequency512 Hzproduces first resonance when the tube is filled with water to a mark11 cmbelow a reference mark, near the open end of the tube. The experiment is repeated with another fork of frequency256 Hzwhich produces first resonance when water reaches a mark27 cmbelow the reference mark. The velocity of sound in air, obtained in the experiment, is close to

Options:

Answer:
D
Solution:

λ14=11+e v512 × 4=11+e    ...(1)

λ24=27+e v256 × 4=27+e    ...(2)

Subtracting the equations,

v256×4×12=16 cm=0.16 m

v=0.16×2×4×256

         =328 m s-1
