IMPORTANT
In a resonance tube experiment, a closed organ pipe of length 120 cm is used. Initially it is completely filled with water. It is vibrated with tuning fork of frequency 340 Hz. To achieve resonance, the water level is lowered then (given vair=340 m s-1, neglect end correction):

Two sound waves one in air and the other in freshwater are equal in intensity.
a Find the ratio of pressure amplitudes of the wave in water to that of the wave in air.

b If the pressure amplitudes of the waves are equal in then what will be the ratio of the intensities of the waves.

If the number of possible natural oscillations of the air column in a pipe whose frequencies lie below v0=1250 Hz. The length of the pipe is L=85 cm. The velocity of sound is  340 m s-1.
a When the pipe is closed from one end is n1

b When the pipe is opened from both ends is n2.

Then find the value of n1+n2

A student is performing an experiment using a resonance column and a tuning fork of frequency 244 s-1. He told that the air in the tube has been replaced by another gas (assume that the column remains filled with the gas). If the minimum height at which resonance occurs is 0.350±0.005 m, the gas in the tube is (useful information: 167RT=640 J12 mole -12, 140RT=590  J12 mole -12. The molar mass M in grams and given in the options. Take the values of 10M for each gas as given there).
