For air at room temperature, the atmospheric pressure is $1.0 \times 10^{5} \text{ Nm}^{-2}$ and the density of air is $1.2 \text{ kgm}^{-3}$. For a tube of length $1.0 \text{ m}$, closed at one end, the lowest frequency generated is $84 \text{ Hz}$. The value of $\gamma$ (ratio of two specific heats) for air is:

  • A
    $2.1$
  • B
    $1.5$
  • C
    $1.8$
  • D
    $1.4$

Two closed organ pipes of length $100 \,cm$ and $101 \,cm$ produce $16$ beats in $20 \,s$. When each pipe is sounded in its fundamental mode,calculate the velocity of sound in $m/s$.

$A$ resonance tube is old and has a jagged end. It is still used in the laboratory to determine the velocity of sound in air. $A$ tuning fork of frequency $512\,Hz$ produces the first resonance when the tube is filled with water to a mark $11\,cm$ below a reference mark,near the open end of the tube. The experiment is repeated with another fork of frequency $256\,Hz$,which produces the first resonance when water reaches a mark $27\,cm$ below the reference mark. The velocity of sound in air,obtained in the experiment,is close to .... $ms^{-1}$

The second overtone of an open pipe has the same frequency as the first overtone of a closed pipe of length $L$. The length of the open pipe will be

An organ pipe closed at one end has a fundamental frequency of $1500 \ Hz$. The maximum number of overtones generated by this pipe which a normal person can hear is ($A$ normal person can hear frequencies up to $19.5 \ kHz$,neglect end correction).

$A$ student is experimenting with a resonance tube apparatus in a Physics lab to find the speed of sound at room temperature. He obtained the first two resonating lengths of the air column as $17 \, cm$ and $51 \, cm$,using a tuning fork of frequency $512 \, Hz$. Find the speed of sound at room temperature in $m/s$.
