In a resonance-column experiment to measure the velocity of sound, the first resonance is obtained at a length l1 and the second resonance at a length l2. Then, (a) l2 > 3l1 (b) l2 = 3l1(c) l2 < 3l1 (d) may be any of the above, depending on the frequency of the tuning fork used |

Answer» Correct Answer is: (c) l2 < 3l1 λ = wavelength of sound, δ = end correction l1 = λ/4 + δ l2 = 3λ/4 + δ or l2 = (l1 - δ) + δ = 3l1 - 2d. ∴ l2 < 3l1. |
