Answer to Question #117775 in Physics for Susan Williams

Question #117775
A tuning fork vibrating at a frequency of 512 Hz is held on top of a jar filled with water and fitted with a tap at the bottom. If the jar is 60 cm high and the speed of sound is 350 m/s, describe what occurs as the jar slowly emptied.

Calculate the wavelength:


λ=vf=0.684 m.\lambda=\frac{v}{f}=0.684\text{ m}.

As the jar is emptied, the first resonance will occur at


L1=14λ=0.171 m,L_1=\frac{1}{4}\lambda=0.171\text{ m},

the second will occur at


L1=34λ=0.513 m.L_1=\frac{3}{4}\lambda=0.513\text{ m}.
