Question
A tuning fork with a frequency of 440 Hz is held above a resonance tube partially filled with water. Assuming that the speed of sound in air is 342 m/s, for what three smallest heights of the air column will resonance occur? {hint: for resonance to occur, the frequency of the tuning fork must match that of the tube.}

- You have an open-open pipe of adjustable length near a taut 60.0 cm, 5.0 gram guitar string which is under a tension of 300 N. You want to adjust the length of the tube so that when it produces a sound in its fundamental frequency, this sound is at the same frequency of the string’s vibration in its second harmonic. What should be the length of the pipe?arrow_forwardA cylinder is filled with water. When it is let out, we hear one harmonic at 79.5 cm and another at 132.5 cm.

- In a resonance tube experiment, resonance occurs with a tuning fork of frequency 384 Hz, when the length of air column in the tube is 20 cm. Resonance occurs again when the length of air column is increased by 45 cm. Calculate the velocity of sound in air, end correction and inner diameter of resonance tube.arrow_forwardA tuning fork is held over the top of a graduated cylinder that is slowly filled with water. Two resonances are noted as the cylinder is filled. They occur when the water level is 56.5 cm and 17.5 cm below the rim. Note that there is an end correction, meaning that the effective length of the air column is longer than the observed length by a fixed constant amount. If the speed of sound is 343 m/s, find the frequency of the tuning fork.arrow_forwardA sound wave with a frequency of 9800 Hz travels along a copper pipe. If thewavelength is 0.370 m and the density of copper is 8.9 x 10^3 kg/m^3, what is the elastic modulus of copper?arrow_forward
- A turning fork is held over a resonance tube, and resonance occurs when the surface of the water is 12 cm below the top of the tube. Resonance occurs again when the water is 34 cm below the top of the tube. If the air temperature is 23 , find the frequency of the turning fork.arrow_forwardThe fundamental frequencies of two air columns are the same. Column A is open at both ends, while column B is open at only one end. The length of column A is 0.488 m. What is the length of column B?arrow_forward
