A student performed the experiment to measure the speed of sound in air using resonance air-column method. Two resonances in the air-column were obtained by lowering the water level. The resonance with the shorter air-column is the first resonance and that with the longer air-column is the second resonance. Then,
$(A)$ the intensity of the sound heard at the first resonance was more than that at the second resonance
$(B)$ the prongs of the tuning fork were kept in a horizontal plane above the resonance tube
$(C)$ the amplitude of vibration of the ends of the prongs is typically around $1 \mathrm{~cm}$
$(D)$ the length of the air-column at the first resonance was somewhat shorter than $1 / 4$ th of the wavelength of the sound in air

- 6One insulated conductor from a household extension cord has a mass per unit length of $μ.$ A section of this conductor is held under tension between two clamps. A subsection is located in a magnetic field of magnitude $B$ directed perpendicular to the length of the cord. When the cord carries an $AC$ current of $"i"$ at a frequency of $f,$ it vibrates in resonance in its simplest standing-wave vibration state. Determine the relationship that must be satisfied between the separation $d$ of the clamps and the tension $T$ in the cord.View Solution
