If the speed of sound in air is \(320\) m/s, then with what frequency of sound will an air column of \(2\) m long pipe closed at one end will resonate?
1. \(120\) Hz
2. \(200\) Hz
3. \(280\) Hz
4. All of these
A pipe, \(30.0\) cm long, is open at both ends.
(i) | Which harmonic mode of the pipe resonates a \(1.1\) kHz source? |
(ii) | Will resonance with the same source be observed if one end of the pipe is closed? |
Take the speed of sound in air as \(330\) m s–1.

3. | First | Yes |
4. | Second | Yes |
Assertion (A): | Sound waves in a gas are pressure waves, but these are also accompanied by changes in local temperature. |
Reason (R): | This is due to the fact that sound waves are propagated in gas through an adiabatic process, and hence accompanied by temperature variations. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
4. | (A) is False but (R) is True. |

1. \(a\)
2. \(b\)
3. \(c\)
4. \(b \text{ and } d\)
