Resonance Tube Experiment

by Notetube Official72 words4 views

A resonance tube is a closed pipe with adjustable water level. For a tuning fork of frequency ff: first resonance at L1λ/4L_1 \approx \lambda/4, second at L23λ/4L_2 \approx 3\lambda/4, third at L35λ/4L_3 \approx 5\lambda/4. L2L1=λ/2L_2 - L_1 = \lambda/2 and L3L2=λ/2L_3 - L_2 = \lambda/2. Speed of sound: v=fλ=2f(L2L1)v = f\lambda = 2f(L_2 - L_1). The ratio L1:L2:L3=1:3:5L_1:L_2:L_3 = 1:3:5 (approximately, ignoring end correction). With end correction: the ratios are slightly different.
