Problem

In the experiment for determining the speed of sound in air using the resonance-column method, the length of the air column that resonates in the fundamental mode with a tuning fork is 0.1 m0.1\text{ m}. When this length is changed to 0.35 m0.35\text{ m}, the same tuning fork resonates with the first overtone. Calculate the end correction. (1) 0.012 m0.012\text{ m} (2) 0.025 m0.025\text{ m} (3) 0.05 m0.05\text{ m} (4) 0.024 m0.024\text{ m}
