In the Kundts tube experiment (shown in fig. $(i)$), the rod is clamped at the end instead of clamping it at the center as shown in fig. $(ii).$ It is known that speed of sound in air is $330\  m/s$, powder piles up at successive distance of $0.6\  m$ and length of rod used is $1\ m$, speed of sound in rod is .... $\frac{m}{s}$

ln rod, $\frac{\lambda }{4} = l \Rightarrow \lambda  = 4l \Rightarrow {v_r} = \lambda v = 4lv$

In air column ${{\rm{v}}_{\rm{a}}} = 2\Delta l{\rm{v}}$

$\frac{{{v_r}}}{{{v_a}}} = \frac{{2l}}{{\Delta l}} \Rightarrow {v_r} = \frac{{2 \times 1 \times 330}}{{0.6}} = 1100\,{\rm{m}}/{\rm{s}}$
