Organ Pipes & Resonance Tube
A resonance tube closed at one end is of height 1.5 m. A tuning fork of frequency 340 Hz is vibrating above the tube. Water is poured in the tube gradually. The minimum height of water column for which resonance is obtained is (Neglect end correction, speed of sound in air )
Show answer and solution
Answer: (d)
- m.
- Resonating air-column lengths: cm (all within 150 cm).
- Minimum water height uses the longest air column: cm
- So the answer is (d) 25 cm.
