A tuning fork of frequency 480 Hz is used in an experiment for measuring speed of sound $(\upsilon )$ in air by resonance tube method. Resonance is observed to occur at two successive lengths of the air column, $l_{1}=30cm$ and $l_{2}=70cm$ . Then, $\upsilon$ is equal to:

Option 1)
332 $ms^{-1}$

Option 2)
384 $ms^{-1}$

Option 3)
338 $ms^{-1}$

Option 4)
379 $ms^{-1}$

S solutionqc

$f=480 Hz$ , $\frac{\lambda }{2}=40cm$ , $\lambda =80cm=0.8m$

$Vsound=f\lambda =480\times 0.8=384m/s$

Option 1)

332 $ms^{-1}$

Option 2)

384 $ms^{-1}$

Option 3)

338 $ms^{-1}$

Option 4)

379 $ms^{-1}$
