A `40 cm` long brass rod is dropped one end first onto a hard floor but is caught before it topples over . With an `3 kHz` tone . The speed of sound in brass is
A. `600 m//s`
B. `1200 m//s`
C. `2400 m//s`
D. `4800 m//s`
A. `600 m//s`
B. `1200 m//s`
C. `2400 m//s`
D. `4800 m//s`
Correct Answer – C
The brass rod is open at both ends .
So the longitudinal waves will have a fundamental frequency `f_(0) = (v)/( 2l)`.
`v = (3000) (2) ((40)/(100))`
`v = 2400 m//s`
