Experiment Se-01
Resonance Tube
Description: A
tuning fork is mounted above a glass tube. The water level in the tube can be
adjusted by moving the water reservoir up and down. The tuning fork produces
a strong resonance when the length of the air column is an odd multiple of a
quarter wavelength of the fork. If the frequency of the fork is known, the velocity
of the sound may be calculated from the known frequency and the measured wavelength.
Setup
