    A tuning fork is used to produce resonance in a glass tube. The length of the air column in this tube can be adjusted by a variable piston. At room temperature of $27\,^o C$ two successive resonances are produced at $20\, cm$ and $73\, cm$ of column length. If the frequency of the tuning fork is $320\, Hz,$ the velocity of sound in air at $27\,^o C$ is .... $m/s$

    Vibrating tuning fork of frequency $n$ is placed near the open end of a long cylindrical tube. The tube has a side opening and is fitted with a movable reflecting piston. As the piston is moved through $8.75 cm$, the intensity of sound changes from a maximum to minimum. If the speed of sound is $350 \,m/s. $ Then $n$ is .... $Hz$

    A string fixed at both ends is in resonance in its $2^{nd}$ harmonic with a tuning fork of frequency $f_1$. Now its one end becomes free. If the frequency of the tuning fork is increased slowly from $f_1$ then again a resonance is obtained when the frequency is $f_2$. If in this case the string vibrates in $n^{th}$ harmonic then
