eg. Assume that the displacement (s) of air is proportional to the pressure difference (p) created by a sound
wave. Displacement (s) further depends on the speed of sound (v), density of air () and the frequency
(f). If p~lOPa, v~300 m/s, p~l kg/m3 and f~1000 Hz, then s will be of the order of (take the

eg. In a resonance tube experiment when the tube is filled with water up to a height of 17.0 cm from bottom,
it resonates with a given tuning fork. When the water level is raised the next resonance with the same
tuning fork occurs at a height of 24.5 cm. If the velocity of sound in air is 330 m/s, the tuning fork

other one recedes with the same speed (much less than the speed of sound). The observer hears 2
