MCQ
While measuring the speed of sound by performing a resonance column experiment, a student gets the first resonance condition at a column length of $18\,cm$ during winter. Repeating the same experiment during summer, she measures the column length to be $x\,cm$ for the second resonance. Then
  • $x > 54$
  • B
    $54 > x > 36$
  • C
    $36 > x > 18$
  • D
    $18 > x$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$x > 54$
a
In second resonance $x = 3L_1 = 54$ but during summer temp. increases so velocity of sound increases.

$\therefore  x > 3L_1$
