Problem 4.169

To determine the sound propagation velocity in air by acoustic resonance technique one can use a pipe with a piston and a sonic membrane closing one of its ends. Find the velocity of sound if the distance between the adjacent positions of the piston at which resonance is observed at a frequency \(v=2000 \mathrm{~Hz}\) is equal to \(l=\) \(=8.5 \mathrm{~cm}\)

Reveal Answer
v=2lv=0.34 km/sv=2 l v=0.34 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{s}
