$A$ tuning fork of frequency $480\, Hz$ is used in an experiment for measuring the speed of sound $(\nu)$ in air by the resonance tube method. Resonance is observed to occur at two successive lengths of the air column,$\ell_1 = 30\, cm$ and $\ell_2 = 70\, cm$. Then $\nu$ is equal to ..... $m/s$.

  • A
    $332$
  • B
    $338$
  • C
    $384$
  • D
    $379$
