AB is a cylinder of length1 metre ,fitted with a thin flexible diaphragm C at the middle and two other thin flexible diaphragms A and B at the ends. The portions AC and BC contain hydrogen and oxygen gas respectively. The diaphragms A and B are set into vibrations of the same frequency. What is the minimum frequency of these vibrations for which diaphragm C is a node? Assume the velocity of sound in hydrogen to be 1100 m s-1 and in oxygen 300 m s-1 .
