An experiment is conducted to determine the velocity of sound by resonating air column method where the first and second resonating lengths are 20 cm and 60 cm , respectively , for a tuning fork of frequency 100 Hz. Arrange the following steps in a sequential order to determine the velocity of sound . (A) Note the frequency of the tuning fork (n) that is used to produce resonance in the closed organ tube . (B) This will be the fundamental frequency of air column . (C) The velocity of sound in air , v = 2n (l_(2) - l_(1)). (D) Identify the first and second resonating lengths when the tuning fork of frequency (n) is used from the given information . Let it be l_(1) and l_(2). respectively.

Solution :Note the frequency of the tuning fork (n) that is used to produce resonance in the closed ORGAN tube (a) . This will be the fundamental frequency of the air column (B) . Identify the first and second resonating LENGTHS when tuning fork of frequency (n ) is used from the information given . Let it be `l_(1)` and `l_(2)` , respectively (d) . The velocityof sound in air , v = 2N `(l_(2) - l_(1))` (c) .
