when temp. decreases, speed of sound in air decreases, since no. of beats per second is less at lower tempertaure we coclude that frequency of aircolumn is higher than freq. of tuning fork.

let v be freq. of tuning fork, then at 51 degrees frq. of air column will be (n+4) where n is freq. of tuning fork

at 16 degrees , frewq. of air column will be (n+1)

v51/v16 = (n+4)*k / (n+1)*k
(n+4)/(n+1) = (273+51)1/2 / (273+16)1/2

on solving ofr n , we'll get n = 50 Hz

Dear Student,
Please find below the solution to your problem.

let v be freq. of tuning fork, then at 51 degrees frq. of air column will be (n+4) where n is freq. of tuning fork

at 16 degrees , frewq. of air column will be (n+1)v51/v16 = (n+4)*k / (n+1)*k
(n+4)/(n+1) = (273+51)1/2 / (273+16)1/2
on solving ofr n , we'll get n = 50 Hz

Thanks and Regards
