Question 526: Waves

Question

In the experiment to determine the speed of sound using a resonance column,

Accepted Answer

Wave produced by tuning Fork in a vertical plane as shown in above figure.
Therefore, fringes of tuning Fork is kept in vertical plane.

Answer

prongs of the tuning fork are kept in a vertical plane

Answer

prongs of the tuning fork are kept in a horizontal plane

Answer

in one of the two resonances observed, the length of the resonating air column is close to the wavelength of sound in air

Answer

in one of the two resonances observed, the length of the resonating air column is close to half of the wavelength of sound in air
