I have no clue for the second position. Nothing seems to work or make sense to me wavelength= 3 x 0.475 m = 1.425 m velocity = 1.425 m x 500 Hz = 712.5 m/s that puts the %error off the chart.

If the first resonance position calculations are good what am I doing wrong for the second position?

So my calculations are good then?

Ok so I think I have the first resonance position figured out: average is 16.4 cm wavelength = (4 x 0.164 m) = 0.656 m velocity = wavelength x frequency = 0.656 x 500 = 328 m/s velocity with temperature = 343.4 m/s percent error = [(343.4 - 328) / 343.4] x 100 = 4.5% The second...

Does this sound right? First resonance position: I get the average at 32.9 cm wavelength = 66cm - 12.3 cm= 53.7 cm = 0.537 m velocity with wavelength = 0.537 m (500Hz) = 268.5 m/s velocity with temperature = 331.4 + 0.6(20C) = 343.4 m/s Second resonance position: 47.6 cm x 4 =...

Is this what you mean: First resonance position 1. 16.5 x 4 = 66 cm 2. 16.3 x (5/4) = 20.375 cm 3. 16.4 x (3/4) = 12.3 cm

It would really help to see an example? I'm still not getting it

Am I missing something and doing this all wrong? Experiment and data: The level of water in the glass tube was adjusted by raising the supply tank until the sound from the tuning fork was at its loudest. This level corresponds to first resonance position and it was recorded. The...
