You perform an experiment with a long column of air and a tuning fork. The column of air is defined by a very long vertical plastic tube with a circular cross section; the upper end of the tube is open to the outside air and the lower end of the tube is filled with water. The column of air extends from the top of the water to the open end of the tube; the length of the column can be varied by changing the water level in the lower end of the tube. (The columns of air in this problem are longer than those you will have used in lab; this allows us to imagine the use of lower frequency tuning forks than those you will have used in lab.)
ou are using a tuning fork of frequency 256 Hz. For one particular water level, you hear a loud sound when the fork is struck and positioned just above the open end of the tube. When the water level is lowered by 676 mm, you again hear a loud sound.
(a) What is the wavelength of the 256 Hz sound waves in the column of air? Give your answer in meters, not mm. m
(b) What is the speed of sound in the column of air? m/s
