An open organ pipe of length $l$ is sounded together with another organ pipe of length $l + x$ in their fundamental tones $(x << l)$. The beat frequency heard will be (speed of sound is $v$):

  • A
    $\frac{vx}{4l^2}$
  • B
    $\frac{vl^2}{2x}$
  • C
    $\frac{vx}{2l^2}$
  • D
    $\frac{vx^2}{2l}$

In the fundamental mode, the time required for a sound wave to reach the closed end of a pipe filled with air is $t$ seconds. What is the frequency of vibration of the air column? ($\lambda$ = wavelength of the wave)

$A$ tuning fork is used to produce resonance in a glass tube. The length of the air column in this tube can be adjusted by a variable piston. At room temperature of $27\,^{\circ}C$,two successive resonances are produced at $20\,cm$ and $73\,cm$ of column length. If the frequency of the tuning fork is $320\,Hz$,the velocity of sound in air at $27\,^{\circ}C$ is .... $m/s$.

The first resonance length of a resonance tube is $40\, cm$ and the second resonance length is $122\, cm$. The third resonance length of the tube will be... $cm$
