a tuning fork vibrates after a student struck the tuning fork. When a tuning fork is struck and placed near the column of air‚ it creates a standing wave. A resonance is created when the frequencies of tuning fork and the column of air are equal to each other. For the resonance to occur‚ the distance between the top of the tube and the water must be either ¼ of the wavelength or a multiple of ¼ of the wavelength. The objective of this lab was to investigate the resonances of tuning forks with various
