mallet and the tuning fork is held at the open end of the
tuning fork is the same as that of the air column in the glass
With the same tuning fork, the length of the air column
λ1 + l 2
“λ 2”. The average wavelength is calculated. λ =

Tuning forks 512 hz, 384hz, and an unknown are used and the
first resonating length and the second resonating lengths are obtained

question is answered.
Sources of error:
2. the reading of the lower level of water in the glass tube could
cause error.
Precautions:
error.
Conclusion:
determined.
