Select the correct alternative (s) :
A student performed the experiment to measure the speed of sound in air using resonance air- column method. Two resonances in the air-column were obtained by lowering the water level. The resonance with the shorter air-column is the first resonance and that with the longer air-column is the second resonance. Then :
(a)The intensity of the sound heard at the first resonance was more than that at the second resonance
(b)The prongs of the tuning fork were kept in a horizontal plane above the resonance tube
(c)The amplitude of vibration of the ends of the prongs is typically around 1 cm
(d) The length of the air-column at the first resonance was somewhat shorter than l/4th of the wavelength of the sound in air.

Air is blown at the mouth of a tube (Length and diameter ) closed at one end. Velocity of sound is the sound which is produced will correspond to the frequencies :
