Solve a Sound Wave Problem: Tuning Fork Frequency & Resonance

AI Thread Summary
To solve the sound wave problem involving a tuning fork and an open tube, the maximum sound intensity occurs at a tube length of 0.5 meters, indicating resonance. The wavelength can be calculated using the formula wavelength = 2L/n, where L is the length of the tube and n is the harmonic number. The fundamental frequency is given by f1 = nV/2L, where V is the speed of sound. For an open pipe, harmonics can be produced at integer multiples of the fundamental frequency. Understanding these relationships is crucial for determining the tuning fork frequency and the conditions for resonance.

Can somebody help mi out to understand more this problem.
Open at both ends tube with variable length and vibrating tuning fork is helded near one end. Lenght is .5 meter when the sound intensity is maximum.
Find wavelength of sound, tuning fork frequency, and frequency which produce resonance. Thanks for any help

Think of fundamental frequency and harmonics.

What is the relationship between wavelength with respect to the length of the tube? What is the relationship between speed of sound, wavelength and frequency?
 
Since this is open pipe
wavelength = 2L/n frequency f1= nV/2L and 2*f1
is this ok?

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...

Thread 'Struggling to make relation between elastic force and height'

Hello guys this is what I tried so far. I used the UTS to calculate the force it needs when the rope tears. My idea was to make a relationship/ function that would give me the force depending on height. Yeah i couldnt find a way to solve it. I also thought about how I could use hooks law (how it was given to me in my script) with the thought of instead of having two part of a rope id have one singular rope from the middle to the top where I could find the difference in height. But the...
