Answer:
0.655 m
13.468°C
Explanation:
v = Speed of sound at 20.0°C = 343 m/s (general value)
For one both end open we have the expression
[tex]L=\dfrac{\lambda_1}{2}\\\Rightarrow L=\dfrac{\dfrac{v}{f_1}}{2}\\\Rightarrow L=\dfrac{\dfrac{343}{261.6}}{2}\\\Rightarrow L=0.655581039755\ m[/tex]
The length of the flute is 0.655 m
Beat frequency is given by
[tex]\Delta f=f_1-f_2\\\Rightarrow 3=261.6-f_2\\\Rightarrow f_2=261.6-3\\\Rightarrow f_2=258.6\ Hz[/tex]
Velocity of the wave is
[tex]v=f_2\lambda_1\\\Rightarrow v=258.6\times \dfrac{343}{261.6}\\\Rightarrow v=339.066513761\ m/s[/tex]
The temperature is given by
[tex]T=273(\dfrac{v}{331})^2\\\Rightarrow T=273(\dfrac{339.066513761}{331})^2\\\Rightarrow T=286.468227799\ K=286.468227799-273=13.468227799^{\circ}C[/tex]
The temperature of the room is 13.468°C
