What are the conditions for resonance of air column with a tuning fork?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The resonance will take place in air column if the compression or rarefaction produced by the vibration of the tuning fork travels from open end of the air column to lower closed end (water level in the resonance apparatus) and back to the upper open end in the same time in which the prong goes from one extremen to other.
