Question
An electrically maintained tuning fork vibrates with constant frequency and constant amplitude. If the temperature of the surrounding air increases but pressure remains constant, the sound produced will have:
  1. Larger wavelength.
  2. Larger frequency.
  3. Larger velocity.
  4. Larger time period.
✓

Answer

  1. Larger wavelength.
  1. Larger velocity.

Explanation:

The velocity varies with temperature as $\text{v}\propto\sqrt{\text{T}}.$ Therefore, it increases. Since the frequency remains constant, the wavelength will increase as $\lambda\propto\text{v}.$
