Q. A column of air of length 50 cm resonates with a stretched string of length 40 cm. The length of the same air column which will resonates with 60 cm of the same string at a the same tension is

A) 100 cm
B) 75 cm
C) 50 cm
D) 25 cm
Explanation

(b) As $\frac{l_{2}}{2l} = \frac{l_{2}^{'}}{l_{1}^{'}}$
$\therefore\frac{60}{40} = \frac{l_{2}^{'}}{50^{'}}$ ,
$l_{2}^{'} = \frac{50 \times 60}{40} = 75\ cm$
