A tuning fork is used to produce resonance in a glass tube. The length of the air column in this tube can be adjusted by a variable piston. At room temperature of \(27^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\), to successive resonances are produced at \(20\) cm and \(73\) cm column length. If the frequency of the tuning fork is \(320\) Hz, the velocity of sound in air at \(27^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\) is:
1. | \(330\) m/s | 2. | \(339\) m/s |
3. | \(350\) m/s | 4. | \(300\) m/s |
The fundamental frequency in an open organ pipe is equal to the third harmonic of a closed organ pipe. If the length of the closed organ pipe is \(20~\text{cm}\), the length of the open organ pipe is:

3. \(12.5~\text{cm}\)
4. \(16~\text{cm}\)
An air column, closed at one end and open at the other, resonates with a tuning fork when the smallest length of the column is \(50\) cm. The next larger length of the column resonating with the same tuning fork will be:

A uniform rope, of length \(L\) and mass \(m_1\), hangs vertically from a rigid support. A block of mass \(m_2\) is attached to the free end of the rope. A transverse pulse of wavelength \(\lambda_1\) is produced at the lower end of the rope. The wavelength of the pulse when it reaches the top of the rope is \(\lambda_2\). The ratio \(\frac{\lambda_2}{\lambda_1}\) is:
1. \(\sqrt{\frac{m_1+m_2}{m_2}}\)
2. \(\sqrt{\frac{m_2}{m_1}}\)
3. \(\sqrt{\frac{m_1+m_2}{m_1}}\)
4. \(\sqrt{\frac{m_1}{m_2}}\)

A string is stretched between fixed points separated by \(75.0~\text{cm}\). It is observed to have resonant frequencies of \(420~\text{Hz}\) and \(315~\text{Hz}\). There are no other resonant frequencies between these two. The lowest resonant frequency for this string is:

3. \( 10.5 \mathrm{~Hz} \)
4. \( 105 \mathrm{~Hz}\)
The fundamental frequency of a closed organ pipe of a length \(20\) cm is equal to the second overtone of an organ pipe open at both ends. The length of the organ pipe open at both ends will be:

3. | \(120\) cm | 4. | \(140\) cm |
