Solution

The correct option is D kundt's tube
Kundt's tube is used to determine the velocity of sound in solids, liquids as well as in gases. In Kundt's tube the longitudinal waves are produced in air column and in rod. The nodes are detected by powder particles and the velocity of sound is determined. Also, the sound velocity in liquids is determined using Kundt's tube. The resonance tube, organ pipes are used to determine velocity of sound in air only. And sonometer determines velocity of sound in solids only.
