A student performed the experiment to measure the speed of sound in air using resonance air-column method. Two resonances in the air-column were obtained by lowering the water level. The resonance with the shorter air-column is the first resonance and that with the longer air column is the second resonance. Then,
Select ALL correct options:
A
the intensity of the sound heard at the first resonance was more than that at the second resonance
B
the prongs of the tuning fork were kept in a horizontal plane above the resonance tube
C
the amplitude of vibration of the ends of the prongs is typically around 1 cm
D
the length of the air-column at the first resonance was somewhat shorter than 1/4th of the wavelength of the sound in air
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Incorrect. Try again or view the solution.
⚠ Partially correct. Some answers are missing.
Solution
Larger the length of air column, feebler is the intensity
