A tuning fork vibrating with a frequency of $512$ $\mathrm{Hz}$ is kept close to the open end of a tube filled with water. The water level in the tube is gradually lowered. When the water level is $17$ $\mathrm{cm}$ below the open end, maximum intensity of sound is heard. If the room temperature is $20^{°}$ $\mathrm{C}$, calculate :
$(a)$ speed of sound in air at room temperature
$(b)$ speed of sound in air at $0^{°}$ $\mathrm{C}$.
$(c)$ if the water in the tube is replaced with mercury, will there be any difference in your observations ?
A steel rod of length $100\, cm$ is clamped at the middle. The frequency of the fundamental mode for the longitudinal vibrations of the rod is ..... $kHz$ (Speed of sound in steel $= 5\, km\, s^{-1}$)
A standing wave exists in a string of length $150\ cm$ , which is fixed at both ends with rigid supports . The displacement amplitude of a point at a distance of $10\ cm$ from one of the ends is $5\sqrt 3\ mm$ . The nearest distance between the two points, within the same loop and havin displacment amplitude equal to $5\sqrt 3\ mm$ is $10\ cm$ . Find the maximum displacement amplitude of the particles in the string .... $mm$
The frequency of transverse vibrations in a stretched string is $200 Hz$. If the tension is increased four times and the length is reduced to one-fourth the original value, the frequency of vibration will be .... $Hz$
Two wires are fixed in a sonometer. Their tensions are in the ratio $8 : 1$. The lengths are in the ratio $36:35.$ The diameters are in the ratio $4 : 1$. Densities of the materials are in the ratio $1 : 2$. If the lower frequency in the setting is $360 Hz.$ the beat frequency when the two wires are sounded together is
