Try it on paper first. A hint, the key idea and the worked solution are here when you need them.
A resonance tube long has an inside diameter of . It is used with a fork of on a day when sound travels at . Take the end correction as . (a) At what length of air column is the first resonance? (b) The second? (c) Can the third resonance be found with this tube?
A resonance tube (closed by water) booms when , , and so on. So
Have you tried it?
Work it out on paper first. It is fine to get stuck or make a mistake: that is how we learn. When you are ready, go through the solution one step at a time, and check each step against your own.
The wavelength. .
The end correction. .
(a) .
(b) .
(c) No. The third needs , longer than the tube.
