Problem

The water level in a vertical glass tube 1.0 m1.0\,\text{m} long can be adjusted to any position in the tube. A tuning fork vibrating at 660 Hz660\,\text{Hz} is held just over the open top end of the tube. At what positions of the water level will there be resonance? The speed of sound is 330 m s−1330\,\text{m s}^{-1}.
