A tuning fork of `512 H_(Z)` is used to produce resonance in a resonance tube expertiment. The level of water at first resonance is `30.7 cm` and at second resonance is `63.2 cm` . The error in calculating velocity of sound is (a) `204.1 cm//s` (b) `110 cm//s` (c) `58 cm//s` (d) `280 cm//s`A. 204.1 cm/sB. 110 cm/sC. 58 cm/sD. 280 cm/s

Answer» Correct Answer - D
The question is incomplete, as speed of sound is not given. Let us assume speed of sound as 330 m/s. Then, method will be as under.
`(lamda)/(2)=(63.2-30.7)cmor lamda=0.65m`
`:.` speed of sound observed
`V_(0)=f lamda=512 xx0.65=332.8 m`
`:.` Error is calculated velocity of sound
`= 2.8 m//s = 280 cm//s`
