In a resonance tube experiment when the tube is filled

Question:

In a resonance tube experiment when the tube is filled with water up to a height of $17.0 \mathrm{~cm}$ from bottom, it resonates with a given tuning fork. When the water level is raised the next resonance with the same tuning fork occurs at a height of $24.5 \mathrm{~cm}$. If the velocity of sound in air is $330 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$, the tuning fork frequency is :

  1. $2200 \mathrm{~Hz}$

  2. $550 \mathrm{~Hz}$

  3. $1100 \mathrm{~Hz}$

  4. $3300 \mathrm{~Hz}$


Correct Option: 1

Solution:

(1) Here, $l_{1}=17 \mathrm{~cm}$ and $l_{2}=24.5 \mathrm{~cm}, V=330 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}, f=?$

$\lambda=2\left(l_{2}-l_{1}\right)=2 \times(24.5-17)=15 \mathrm{~cm}$

Now, from $v=f \lambda \Rightarrow 330=\lambda \times 15 \times 10^{-2}$

$\therefore \lambda=\frac{330}{15} \times 100=\frac{1100 \times 100}{5}=2200 \mathrm{~Hz}$
