Consider a gas with molar mass $M$. If sound at frequency $f$ is introduced to a tube of this gas at temperature $T$, an internal acoustic standing wave is set up with nodes separated by $L$. The adiabatic constant $\gamma = \frac{C_p}{C_v}$ is

  • A
    $\frac{M f^2 L^2}{R T}$
  • B
    $\frac{M f^2 L^2}{4 R T}$
  • C
    $\frac{4 M f^2 L^2}{R T}$
  • D
    $\frac{3 M f^2 L^2}{2 R T}$

Two open organ pipes of lengths $50 \,cm$ and $51 \,cm$ are totally immersed in a medium. They are found to give $40$ beats in $10 \,s$ when each is sounding at its fundamental note. The speed of sound in this medium is (in $\,ms^{-1}$)

$A$ string fixed at both ends is in resonance in its $2^{nd}$ harmonic with a tuning fork of frequency $f_1$. Now,one end becomes free. If the frequency of the tuning fork is increased slowly from $f_1$,then again a resonance is obtained when the frequency is $f_2$. If in this case the string vibrates in the $n^{th}$ harmonic,then:

In a pipe closed at one end,an air column is vibrating in its second overtone. The column has
