Problem

A resonance tube is old and has jagged end. It is still used in the laboratory to determine velocity of sound in air. A tuning fork of frequency 512 Hz produces first resonance when the tube is filled with water to a mark 11 cm below a reference mark, near the open end of the tube. The experiment is repeated with another fork of frequency 256 Hz which produces first resonance when water reaches a mark 27 cm below the reference mark. The velocity of sound in air, obtained in the experiment, is close to: (1) 322 ms−1322 \text{ ms}^{-1} (2) 341 ms−1341 \text{ ms}^{-1} (3) 335 ms−1335 \text{ ms}^{-1} (4) 328 ms−1328 \text{ ms}^{-1}
