Q) Calculate the least mass of air that would resonate witha tuning fork of frequency 340 Hz in a closed tube of diameter 4cm at 30 degree centigrade.
(velocity of sound in air =350m/s;density of air at 30 degree centigrade=1.3kg per cube meter.) Neglect end correction.

is it 3.96 kg?

light travels the fastest ??? NO

n = 340Hz  & v = 350m/s
so, = 350/340 m
min. length of air column would be in first harmonic
so, l = / 4 35/136 m

therefore,  min. mass of air =  V
  r2 l
(1.3 * 22 * .0004 * 35) / (136 * 7)
.42gm

hey punit
"for minimum l = lambda/4 "
this condtion is for tube open at both at the ends
but how do we know whther it is iopen at both ends or closed at one end tube ?

light travels the fastest ??? NO

rajat, read the ques. again, its given that tube is closed
l = lambda / 4
this condition is for tube open at one end & closed at other
actually, in the question it is not mentioned that whether the tube is closed at both ends or at one end
But, i guessed that it is open at one end as the last line says ' neglect end correction'

But second to none

punit ,
 
i think L = (n - 1/2) /2 is the condition for tube open at one end and closed at another
whereas L = n/4 is the condition for tube open at "both " ends .
see H.C verma ,it is given clearly in it .
 
and now,if u say it is closed at one end then why did u apply the second equation which is for open at both ends ???

light travels the fastest ??? NO
