Tube Resonance

(and the wavelength of sound)

  • what happens when you blow air on the top of a tube or cylinder
    • it will resonate
  • why does blowing the top of a bottle cause it to vibrate.
    • it causes turbulence
  • what is the top of the bottle called
    • when an air can move - antinode
    • bottom of bottle is called a node
  • what is the length of tube in terms of wavelength
  • what about two double ended tubes?
    • two antinodes, one node
  • what is the wavelength of double ended tube?
