A tuning fork vibrates with a frequency of 256 Hz. Taking the speed of sound to be 345.6 m s-1 in the air, find the wavelength and the distance, which the sound travels during the time, fork makes 60 vibrations.

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

Here,f= 256 Hz;  υ = 345.6 m s−1

∴ λ =υf=345.6256=1.35 m

In one cycle, sound advances by distance λ

Therefore, the required distance travelled by sound,

S = 60. λ =81 m
