A 512Hz tuning fork is used with a resonating column to determine the velocity of sound in water. If the spacing between resonances is 1.46m, what is the velocity of sound in water?

Answer:

v= 1495.04 m/s

Explanation:

The formula for velocity of sound is given by ;

v= fλ   --------where

v= velocity of sound

f= frequency of turning fork

λ = wavelength

However,

Δ L = 1/2 λ   ------where Δ L is spacing between resonances.

1.46 = 1/2 λ

1.46 * 2 = λ

2.92 m = λ

v= fλ

v= 512 * 2.92

v= 1495.04 m/s
