MCQ
A steel rod $100 \,cm$ long is clamped at its middle. The fundamental frequency of longitudinal vibrations of the rod are given to be $2.53\,kHz$. What is the speed of sound in steel ..... $km/sec$
- A$2.53$
- ✓$5.06$
- C$10.12$
- D$20.24$
✓
Answer
Correct option: B.
$5.06$
b
$ \lambda / 2 =100 \mathrm{\,cm} $
$ \lambda / 2 =100 \mathrm{\,cm} $
$\lambda =200 \mathrm{\,cm}=2 \mathrm{\,m} $
$\mathrm{v} =\mathrm{n} \lambda$
$ =2.53 \times 10^{3} \times 2=5.06 \mathrm{\,km} / \mathrm{sec} $
