A tuning fork of frequency 220Hz produces sound waves of wavelength 1.5m in air at NTP. Calculate the increase ini wavelenth, when temperature of air in `27^(@)C`.

Answer» Here, `V=220Hz, lambda_(1)=1.5m, T_(1)-0^(@)C=273K, upsilon_(1)=vlambda_(1)=220xx1.5=330m//s`
`T_(2)=27^(@)C=27+273=300K.`
`upsilon_(2)=upsilon_(1)sqrt((T_(2))/(T_(1)))=330sqrt((300)/(273))=345.9m//s`
`lambda_(2)=(upsilon_(2))/(n)=(345.9)/(220)=1.57m`
Increase in wavelength `=lambda_(2)-lambda_(1)=1.57-1.50=0.07m`
