Wave Mechanics Question 845

Question: The frequency of a tunning fork is 384 per second and velocity of sound in air is 352 m/s. How far the sound has traversed while fork completes 36 vibration

[KCET 2001]

Options:

A) 3 m

B) 13 m

C) 23 m

D) 33 m

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

$ \lambda =\frac{v}{n}=\frac{352}{384} $ ; during 1 vibration of fork sound will travel $ \frac{352}{384}m $ during 36 vibration of fork sound will travel $ \frac{352}{384}\times 36=33 $

$ m $
