In the experiment to determine the speed of sound using a resonance column:

  1. A Prongs of the tuning fork are kept in a vertical plane
  2. B Prongs of the tuning fork are kept in a horizontal plane
  3. C In one of the two resonances observed, the length of the resonating air column is close to the wavelength of sound in air
  4. D In one of the two resonances observed, the length of the resonating air column is close to half of the wavelength of sound in air
Verified Solution
