14.Waves and Sound
medium
A steel rod $100\,cm$ long is clamped at its middle. The fundamental frequency of longitudinal vibrations of the rod are given to be $2.53\,kHz$. What is the speed of sound in steel ...... $km/sec$
A
$2.53$
B
$5.06$
C
$10.12$
D
$20.24$
Solution
$ \lambda / 2 =100 \mathrm{\,cm} $
$\lambda =200 \mathrm{\,cm}=2 \mathrm{\,m} $
$ \mathrm{v} =\mathrm{n} \lambda $
$=2.53 \times 10^{3} \times 2 $
$=5.06 \mathrm{\,km} / \mathrm{\,sec} $
