MCQ
The pressure wave, $P = 0.01\,sin\,[1000t -3x]\,Nm^{-2},$ corresponds to the sound produced by a vibrating blade on a day when atmospheric temperature is $0\,^oC.$ On some other day when temperature is $T,$ the speed of sound produced by the same blade and at the same frequency is found to be $336 \,ms^{-1}$. Approximate value of $T$ is .... $^oC$
  • A
    $12$
  • B
    $11$
  • C
    $15$
  • $4$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$4$
d
Speed of wave from wave equation

$v=-\frac{(\text { coeffecient of } t)}{(\text { coeffecient of } x)}$

$v=-\frac{1000}{(-3)}=\frac{1000}{3}$

since speed of wave $\propto \sqrt{T}$

$\mathrm{So}=\frac{1000}{\frac{3}{336}}=\sqrt{\frac{273}{\mathrm{T}}}$

$\Rightarrow T=277.41 \mathrm{K}$

$\mathrm{T}=4.41^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$
