![]() ![]() The three parameters involved in the resonance condition of an air column are f, v and L. The lowest frequency (n = 1) is called the fundamental frequency and higher frequencies are called overtones. Hence, an air column of length L has particular resonance frequencies and will be in resonance with the corresponding driving frequencies. The relation between the wavelength and frequency of the sound source is: ![]() But the distance between a node and an anti-node is λ/4 and therefore, resonance occurs when the length of the tube (air column) is nearly equal to an odd number of λ/4. The resonance frequencies of a pipe or tube (air column) depend on its length L. Only a certain number of wavelengths can be fitted into the tube given the condition that there should be a node at the closed end and an anti-node at the open end. The superposition of the waves travelling down the tube and the reflected waves travelling up the tube produce (longitudinal) standing waves which must have a node at the closed end of the tube and an antinode at the open end. For example, in a closed organ pipe (closed at one end) of length L t when the air column is set into vibration with a tuning fork of a particular frequency, it vibrates in resonance with the tuning fork. Resonance Column and Tuning Fork ExperimentĮxperiment: To determine (i) the wavelength of sound produced in an air column, (ii) the velocity of sound in air at room temperature using a resonance column and a tuning fork.Īir columns in pipes or tubes of fixed lengths have their specific natural frequencies. ![]()
