$A$ source of sound placed at the open end of a resonance column sends an acoustic wave of pressure amplitude ${\rho _0}$ inside the tube. If the atmospheric pressure is ${\rho _A},$ then the ratio of maximum and minimum pressure at the closed end of the tube will be

  • A
    $\frac{{\rho _A + \rho _0}}{{\rho _A - \rho _0}}$
  • B
    $\frac{{\rho _A + 2\rho _0}}{{\rho _A - 2\rho _0}}$
  • C
    $\frac{{\rho _A}}{{\rho _0}}$
  • D
    $\frac{{\rho _A + 0.5\rho _0}}{{\rho _A - 0.5\rho _0}}$

$A$ student is performing an experiment using a resonance column and a tuning fork of frequency $244 \ s^{-1}$. He is told that the air in the tube has been replaced by another gas (assume that the column remains filled with the gas). If the minimum height at which resonance occurs is $(0.350 \pm 0.005) \ m$,the gas in the tube is. (Useful information: $\sqrt{167 RT} = 640 \ J^{1/2} \ mol^{-1/2}$; $\sqrt{140 RT} = 590 \ J^{1/2} \ mol^{-1/2}$. The molar masses $M$ in grams are given in the options. Take the value of $\sqrt{\frac{10}{M}}$ for each gas as given there.)

$A$ closed pipe of length $10 \, cm$ has its fundamental frequency half that of the second overtone of an open pipe. The length of the open pipe is ......... $cm$.

$A$ pipe open at both ends produces a fundamental frequency $n_1$. When the pipe is kept with $\frac{3}{4}$ of its length in water,it produces a note of fundamental frequency $n_2$. The ratio of $\frac{n_1}{n_2}$ is

$A$ glass tube $1.5 \ m$ long and open at both ends is immersed vertically in a water tank completely. $A$ tuning fork of $660 \ Hz$ is vibrated and kept at the upper end of the tube,and the tube is gradually raised out of the water. Taking the velocity of sound in air as $330 \ m/s$,find the total number of resonances heard before the tube comes out of the water.
