    The distance travelled by a sound wave when a tuning fork completes \[25\] vibrations is\[16.5\,\,m\]. If the frequency of the tuning fork is \[500\,\,Hz\], find the velocity of sound.

    A) \[350\,\,m{{s}^{-1}}\]                   

    B) \[330\,\,m{{s}^{-1}}\]

    C) \[300\,\,m{{s}^{-1}}\]                   

    D)  \[450\,\,m{{s}^{-1}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Key Idea: Frequency\[=\frac{1}{Time-period}\] The relation between velocity \[(v)\], and wavelength\[(\lambda )\]is given by                 \[v=n\lambda \] where, \[n=\frac{1}{T}\] Given,   \[\lambda =\frac{16.5}{25}m,\,\,T=\frac{1}{500}s\] Hence,  \[v=\frac{\lambda }{T}=\frac{16.5}{25}\times 500=330\,\,m{{s}^{-1}}\]
