Question 109 of 142

A uniform tube of length 60.5 cm60.5 \mathrm{~cm} is held vertically with its lower end dipped in water. A sound source of frequency 500 Hz500 \mathrm{~Hz} sends sound waves into the tube. When the length of tube above water is 16 cm16 \mathrm{~cm} and again when it is 50 cm50 \mathrm{~cm}, the tube resonates with the source of sound. Two lowest frequencies (in Hz\mathrm{Hz} ), to which tube will resonate when it is taken out of water, are (approximately).

Show answer and solution

Answer: (D) 272,544

Two lowest frequencies to which tube will resonates are 272 Hz272 \mathrm{~Hz} and 544 Hz544 \mathrm{~Hz}.
