JEE MAIN - Physics (2018 - 15th April Morning Slot - No. 13)

A tuning fork vibrates with frequency $$256$$ $$Hz$$ and gives one beat per second with the third normal mode of vibration of an open pipe. What is the length of the pipe ? (Speed of sound in air is $$340\,m{s^{ - 1}}$$)
$$220$$ $$cm$$
$$190$$ $$cm$$
$$180$$ $$cm$$
$$200$$ $$cm$$

Explanation

The tuning fork vibrates with frequency 256 Hz and give one beat per second So, the organ pipe will have frequency (256 $$ \pm $$ 1) Hr.

For open organ pipe,

Frequency n = $${{N\upsilon } \over {2\ell }}$$

Here n = 255 Hz

N = 3

$$\upsilon $$ = 340 m/s

$$\therefore\,\,\,\,$$ 255 = $${{3 \times 340} \over {2 \times \ell }}$$

$$ \Rightarrow $$$$\,\,\,\,$$ $$\ell $$ = $${{3 \times 340} \over {2 \times 255}} = 2\,m$$

$$\therefore\,\,\,\,$$ $$\ell $$ = 2m or 200 cm
