the shortest length of the air column in a resonance tube at resonance is 0.12m and the next resonance length is 0.37m. calculate the frequency of vibration given that the speed of sound in air is 340m-1

  • A. 1360Hz
  • B. 694Hz
  • C. 680Hz
  • D. 34Hz

Correct Answer: C. 680Hz

Explanation

f = \(\frac{v}{2(l_2 - l_1)} = \frac{340}{2(0.37 - 0.12)} = \frac{34}{0.5}\) = 680
