To solve the question, we need to identify the phenomenon that occurs when the sound from the tuning fork becomes very loud for a particular length of the water column in the burette. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Setup**: A vibrating tuning fork is placed over the mouth of a burette that is filled with water. As the water level decreases, the length of the air column above the water changes. 2. **Identifying the Sound**: The tuning fork produces sound waves that travel through the air. The sound waves can resonate with the air column in the burette. ...
