Q.

The water level in a vertical glass tube 1.0m long can be adjusted to any position in the tube. A tuning fork vibrating at 660Hz is held just over the open top end of the tube. At what positions of the water level measured from the open end  will there be  resonance? Speed of sound is 330m/s.

Detailed Solution

Resonance corresponds to a pressure antinode at closed end and pressure node at open end. Further, the distance between a pressure node and a pressure antinode is λ4, the condition of resonance would be,

Length of air column l=nλ4=nv4f

Here, n=1,3,5,

l1=(1)3304×660=0.125m

l2=3l1=0.375m

l3=5l1=0.625m

l4=7l1=0.875m

l5=9l1=1.125m

Question Image

Since, l5>1m (the length of tube), the length of air columns can have the values from l1 to l4 only.

Therefore, level of water at resonance will be

In all the four cases shown in figure, the resonance frequency is 660Hz but first one is the fundamental tone or first harmonic. Second is first overtone or second harmonic and so on.
