EXPERIMENT 16
Aim:
To determine the velocity of sound in airatroom temperature using a Resonance Tube.
Apparatus and materials required :
ee
58 / EE
Observation :
(1) Temperature of the room O= 24..°C
(2) Frequency of first tuning fork, vy =4.\K. Hz
(3) Frequency of second tuning fork, vp = S'U%Hz |

Calculation :
@ For first tuning fork having frequency v,
Velocity of sound inair »y =2v, (-4))=.ARSND.... ms . |
@ Forsecond tuning fork having frequency v,
Velocity of sound in air vy =2 v9 (Iy~1,) = 80.8:.8K.... ms"!

| 7
The velocity of sound v inairatroom temperatures “L=2 L 319-40 ems
Self Assessment :
1. Isthe velocity of sound temperature dependent? If yes, write the relation.
2. What would happen ifresonance tube is not vertical ?
3. Name the phenomenon responsible for the resonance in this experiment.
4, Write two other examples of resonance of sound from day to day life.
