The frequency of a tuning fork is 220 Hz and the velocity of sound in air is 330 m/s. When the tuning fork completes 80 vibrations, the distance travelled by the sound wave is (a) 120 m (b) 60 m (c) 53 m (d) 100 m

Answer: (a). Distance = Nλ = Nv/n. λ = (330)/(220) = 1.5 m Distance = 80 × 1.5 = 120 m So the answer is (a) 120 m.

Wave Basics & Properties of Sound

The frequency of a tuning fork is $220\text{ Hz}$ and the velocity of sound in air is $330\text{ m/s}$ . When the tuning fork completes 80 vibrations, the distance travelled by the sound wave is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

Distance $= N\lambda = N\frac{v}{n}$ .
$\lambda = \frac{330}{220} = 1.5$ m
Distance $= 80 \times 1.5 = 120$ m
So the answer is (a) 120 m.
