An organ pipe $P_1$,closed at one end and containing a gas of density $\rho_1$ is vibrating in its first harmonic. Another organ pipe $P_2$,open at both ends and containing a gas of density $\rho_2$ is vibrating in its third harmonic. Both the pipes are in resonance with a given tuning fork. If the compressibility of gases is equal in both pipes,the ratio of the lengths of $P_1$ and $P_2$ is (assume the given gases to be monoatomic)

  • A
    $\frac{1}{3}$
  • B
    $3$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{6} \sqrt{\frac{\rho_1}{\rho_2}}$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{6} \sqrt{\frac{\rho_2}{\rho_1}}$

$A$ tuning fork vibrating with a frequency of $512$ $Hz$ is kept close to the open end of a tube filled with water. The water level in the tube is gradually lowered. When the water level is $17$ $cm$ below the open end,maximum intensity of sound is heard. If the room temperature is $20^{\circ} C$,calculate:
$(a)$ Speed of sound in air at room temperature.
$(b)$ Speed of sound in air at $0^{\circ} C$.
$(c)$ If the water in the tube is replaced with mercury,will there be any difference in your observations?

When the air column of a resonance tube is vibrated together with a tuning fork,$3$ beats are heard per second,either the temperature of the air column is $51^{\circ} C$ or $16^{\circ} C$. The frequency of the tuning fork is (in $Hz$)

The end correction of a resonance tube is $1 \ cm$. If the shortest length resonating with a tuning fork is $15 \ cm$,the next resonating length will be: (in $cm$)

An open organ pipe and a closed organ pipe of the same length $L$ produce $2$ beats per second when they are set into vibrations together in their fundamental modes. The length of the open pipe is made half and that of the closed pipe is doubled. The number of beats produced per second will be (neglect end correction).

For a particular resonance tube,following are four of the six harmonics below $1000 \,Hz$: $300, 600, 750$ and $900 \,Hz$. The two missing harmonics are:
