í Setting Up
u Set up the equipment as shown in the illustration, and fill with water, taking care it does
not overflow.
u Raise and lower the reservoir and check to make sure that the level of the water changes.
This activity uses the resonance of a column of air to measure the velocity of sound.
Resonance is what occurs when one object vibrating at the same natural frequency of a
second object causes the second object to vibrate. If you have two tuning forks of the same
natural frequency located near each other and strike one of the tuning forks so begins
vibrating, the other tuning fork will also vibrate even if you do not strike it. This is due to
resonance.
This activity uses a fixed-frequency sound source to produce resonance in a vertical
resonance tube. The sound produced by the resonating column of air will sound louder than
the sound produced by the sound source.
The expressions below show the relationships between the length of the column of air and
wavelength, and the velocity of sound and wavelength. The relationship between the
velocity of sound and wavelength is called the basic equation.

L(m) :Air Column Open-end Correction
λ
(m) : Wavelength of Sound
v(m/s) : Velocity of Sound
f(Hz) : Frequency of Sound Wave
Actually, the air around the opening in the resonance tube also behaves like part of the air
column. This is called “open-end correction.” The effects of open-end correction can be
eliminated by measuring the length of the air column at Resonance Point 1 and Resonance
Point 2 and calculating the difference between the two. This can be used in combination
with the wave basic equation to determine the velocity of sound, using the expression
below.
