In an experiment to measure the speed of sound by a resonating air column,a tuning fork of frequency $500 \text{ Hz}$ is used. The length of the air column is varied by changing the level of water in the resonance tube. Two successive resonances are heard at air columns of length $50.7 \text{ cm}$ and $83.9 \text{ cm}$. Which of the following statements is (are) true?
$(A)$ The speed of sound determined from this experiment is $332 \text{ m s}^{-1}$
$(B)$ The end correction in this experiment is $0.9 \text{ cm}$
$(C)$ The wavelength of the sound wave is $66.4 \text{ cm}$
$(D)$ The resonance at $50.7 \text{ cm}$ corresponds to the fundamental harmonic

The length of a closed and an open pipe is the same. The ratio of the frequency of the $n^{\text{th}}$ overtone for the closed pipe to that of the open pipe is (Neglect end correction).

The number of possible natural oscillations of an air column in a pipe closed at one end of length $85 \, cm$ whose frequencies lie below $1250 \, Hz$ are (Velocity of sound $= 340 \, m s^{-1}$)

The end correction for the vibrations of air column in a tube of circular cross-section will be more if the tube is

$A$ tuning fork vibrating with a frequency of $512$ $Hz$ 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 $17$ $cm$ below the open end,maximum intensity of sound is heard. If the room temperature is $20^{\circ} C$,calculate:
$(a)$ Speed of sound in air at room temperature.
$(b)$ Speed of sound in air at $0^{\circ} C$.
$(c)$ If the water in the tube is replaced with mercury,will there be any difference in your observations?
