C. A column of air has a height equal to 1⁄8 of the wavelength of the sound waves produced by a tuning fork vibrating over the column of air in an open pipe that's partially immersed in water.
D. A vibrating tuning fork is struck and begins to vibrate as the object used to strike it is placed away from the tuning fork.
