A tuning fork with a frequency of \(800\) Hz produces resonance in a resonance column tube with the upper end open and the lower end closed by the water surface. Successive resonances are observed at lengths of \(9.75\) cm, \(31.25\) cm, and \(52.75\) cm. The speed of the sound in the air is:
1. \(500\) m/s 2. \(156\) m/s
3. \(344\) m/s 4. \(172\) m/s

A source of sound placed at the open end of a resonance column sends an acoustic wave of pressure amplitude ρ0 inside the tube. If the atmospheric pressure is ρA , then the ratio of maximum and minimum pressure at the closed end of the tube will be :

1. (ρA+ρ0)(ρAρ0)

2. (ρA+2ρ0)(ρA2ρ0)

3. ρAρA

4. ρA+12ρ0ρA-12ρ0

Two wires, \(A\) and \(B,\) of a musical instrument 'Sitar' produce \(3\) beats per second. If the tension of \(B\) is raised, the number of beats becomes \(1\) beat per second. If the frequency of \(A\) is \(450~\text{Hz}\), then the original frequency of \(B\) will be:
1. \(447~\text{Hz}\)
2. \(453~\text{Hz}\)
3. \(449~\text{Hz}\)
4. \(451~\text{Hz}\)

A vibrating tuning fork of frequency \(1000~\text{Hz}\) is placed near the open end of a long cylindrical tube. The tube has a side opening and is also fitted with a movable reflecting piston. As the piston is moved through \(x\) distance, the intensity of sound changes from a maximum to a minimum for an observer at the side opening. If the speed of sound is \(350\) meters per second, then \(x\) is:

               

1. \(35~\text{cm}\)
2. \(17.5~\text{cm}\)
3. \(8.75~\text{cm}\)
4. \(10~\text{cm}\)
