A 512 Hz tuning fork is placed over a long tube that is submerged in a column of water. The speed of sound in the air during this experiment is 343 m/s. The tube is place at one position and resonance is heard. It is raised to a new position and resonance is heard. What is the distance between the two resonances?
There are numerous distances. Essentially, any distance equal to the wavelength of any harmonic of the 512 Hz signal will create a resonance.

I feel so stupid i figured it out...just realized the answer was in centimeters -_-. So if anyone wants to see my answer it's v=(wavelength)(frequency) and d = (1/2)(wavelength) \[343 m/s \div 512s\] = .66992 m = wavelength .66992m(1/2) = .3349m = distance convert that to cm it's 33.5 cm ugh physics
