Question
A tuning fork (1024 Hz) is used to find the resonance in a closed air column. The resonant lengths are as follows:
L1 = 8.4 cm (0.084 m)
L2 = 25.2 cm (0.252 m)
Using the equations for the resonant lengths, calculate the wavelength (in metres). Do this for both L1 and L2.

- You are exploring a newly discovered planet. The radius of the planet is 7.20 * 107 m. You suspend a lead weight from the lower end of a light string that is 4.00 m long and has mass 0.0280 kg.

On the earth, for the same string and lead weight, it takes 0.0390 s for a transverse pulse to travel the length of the string.
