Which one of the following scenarios accurately describes a condition in which resonance can occur?

A. A person is holding a tuning fork on one end of a football field and another person is holding a separate tuning fork on the opposite end of the field.

B. A pipe's length is equal to 1⁄2 of the wavelength of the sound waves produced by a tuning fork vibrating over one end of the pipe that's open to the air at both ends.

C. A vibrating tuning fork is struck and begins to vibrate as the object used to strike it is placed away from the tuning fork.

D. 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.

Answer:

B. A pipe's length is equal to 1⁄2 of the wavelength of the sound waves produced by a tuning fork vibrating over one end of the pipe that's open to the air at both ends.

Step-by-step explanation:

Resonance is a phenomenon that is produced when a body that is capable of vibrating is subjected to a periodic force, whose period of vibration is equal to the period of vibration of said body. In this case, the body vibrates, progressively increasing the amplitude of its movement after each of the successive actions of the force.

An example of this is taking two tuning forks that emit a sound of the same frequency and are placed close to each other, when one is vibrated, the other tuning fork emits the same sound, this is because the sound waves it produces the first press through the air to the second.
