A tuning fork is placed next to a 15cm pipe creating the resonant standing wave seen below at two different times. The air inside is at room temperature. a) Which harmonic is this for the pipe? b) What is the wavelength of this wave? c) What is the frequency of the tuning fork? d) What would be the frequency of the fundamental? e) What lengths of pipe will resonate with the same tuning fork?f) If both ends were open, would the pipe still resonate with the same tuning fork? Why or why not?

1. Suppose that in this experiment the temperature of the roomhad been lower, what effect would this have had on the length ofthe resonating air column for each reading? Explain
2. a). how would an atmosphere of hydrogen affect the pitch of anorgan pipe?
b). How would if affect the pitch of a tuning fork? Explain
3. A tuning fork rated at 128 vibrations per second is held over aresonance tube. What are the two shortest distances at whichresonance will occur at a temperature of 200 C?
4. A vibrating tuning fork is held over a resonance tube, andresonance occurs when the surface of the water in the tube is 10cm. below the fork. If the temperature of the air is 200C,calculate the frequency of the tuning fork.
5. Do you know of any musical instrument that is played by varyingthe length of the pipe? Do you know of any blowing differently toexcite different modes of vibration?

Explain how you might use the concept of beat frequency to tune a musical instrument using tuning forks. Would this method work better for an instrument that is slightly out of tune or an instrument that is completely out of tune?
