In resonance tube, first and second resonance are obtained at depths $22.7 \mathrm{~cm}$ and $70.2 \mathrm{~cm}$ respectively. The third resonance will be obtained at a depth
  1. $117.7 \mathrm{~cm}$
  2. $92.9 \mathrm{~cm}$
  3. $115.5 \mathrm{~cm}$
  4. $113.5 \mathrm{~cm}$

Solution

First resonance will occure at $l_1+\mathrm{x}=\frac{\lambda}{4}$ Second resonance will occure at $l_2+\mathrm{x}=\frac{3 \lambda}{4}$ Second resonance will occure at $l_2+\mathrm{x}=\frac{3 \lambda}{4}$ $\begin{aligned} & l_2+\mathrm{x}=3\left(l_1+\mathrm{x}\right) \\ & l_2+\mathrm{x}=3 l_1+3 \mathrm{x} \\ & 2 \mathrm{x}=l_2-3 l_1 \\ & \therefore \quad \mathrm{x}=\frac{l_2-3 l_1}{2} \\ & \quad=\frac{70.2-68.1}{2}=1.05 \mathrm{~cm} \end{aligned}$ $\therefore \quad$ Third resonance occurs at $l_3+\mathrm{x}=\frac{5 \lambda}{4}$ $\begin{aligned} \therefore \quad l_3 & =5\left(l_1+\mathrm{x}\right)-\mathrm{x} \\ & =5 l_1+4 \mathrm{x} \\ & =113.5+4.2 \\ & =117.7 \mathrm{~cm} \end{aligned}$ ^
