Question

B) what is the frequency of the sound wave;i.e, the tuning fork? C) the water continues to leak out the bottom of the tube When the tube next resonates with tuning fork, what is length of the air column?

Answer 1

60 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The wavelength of the sound wave in the air column closed at one end is given by

`\lambda=(4)/(n)L`

where n = 1, 3, 5, 7,9, 11, 13, 15 are all odd numbers.

Now in our case, we know that the length of the pipe is 225 or 2.25 m. The 8th resonance corresponds to n = 15; therefore, the wavelength of the sound wave is

`\lambda=(4)/(15)*225`
`\boxed{\lambda=60\; cm\text{.}}`

Hence, the wavelength of the sound wave is 60 cm.
