    In the experiment for the determination of the speed of sound in air using the resonance column method, the length of the air column that resonates in the fundamental mode, with a tuning fork is 0.1 m. when this length is changed to 0.35 m, the same tuning fork resonates with the first overtone. Calculate the end correction [IIT-JEE (Screening) 2003]

    A)            0.012m                                   

    B)            0.025m

    C)            0.05m                                      

    D)            0.024m

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                Let x be the end correction then according to question.                     \[\frac{v}{4({{l}_{1}}+x)}=\frac{3v}{4({{l}_{2}}+x)}\Rightarrow x=2.5\]\[cm=0.025\]\[m\].
