If in an experiment for determination of velocity of sound by resonance tube method using a tuning fork of 512 Hz, first resonance was observed at 30.7 cm and second was obtained at 63.2 cm, then maximum possible error in velocity of sound is (consider actual speed of sound in air is 332 m/s)
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsD
Using $\lambda = 2(l_{2} - l_{1})$ ⇒ ⇒ $\mathbf{v} = 2n(l_2 - l_1)$
⇒ ⇒ $2 \times 512 (63.2 - 30.7) = 33280 \mathrm{cm}/\mathrm{s}$
Actual speed of sound $\mathbf{v_0} = 332 \mathrm{m/s} = 33200 \mathrm{cm/s}$
Hence error = 33280 - 33200 = 80 cm/s
