14.Waves and Sound
medium
A steel rod $100 cm$ long is clamped at its mid-point. The funda-mental frequency of longitudinal vibrations of the rod is given to be $2.53 kHz$. What is the speed of sound in steel .... $km/s$
A
$5.06$
B
$6.06$
C
$7.06$
D
$8.06$
Solution

(a) If a rod clamped at middle, then it vibrates with similar fashion as open organ pipe vibrates as shown.
Hence, fundamental frequency of vibrating rod is given by ${n_1} = \frac{v}{{2l}}$
==> $2.53 = \frac{v}{{4 \times 1}}$
==> $v = 5.06 km/sec.$
