Q38 of 118 Page 352

In a standing wave pattern in a vibrating air column, nodes are formed at a distance of 4.0 cm. If the speed of sound in air is 328 m s-1, what is the frequency of the source?

Given:
Distance between two nodes = 4 cm


Speed of sound in air


Frequency of source


Wavelength




Hence, the required frequency of the source is 4.1 KHz.
