Conclusion:

The experiment successfully measured the speed of sound in air using a resonance tube and tuning forks with known frequencies.Small variations in the measurements could be due to minor experimental errors, such as inaccuracies in reading the water level, environmental factors, or slight differences in temperature.The results were consistent with the expected theoretical value of approximately 343 m/s at room temperature, supporting the hypothesis.

Conclusion:

The experiment successfully measured the speed of sound in air using a resonance tube and tuning forks with known frequencies. By identifying the resonant length of the air column for each tuning fork, the speed of sound was calculated for different frequencies and averaged. The results were consistent with the expected theoretical value of approximately 343 m/s at room temperature, supporting the hypothesis.

Small variations in the measurements could be due to minor experimental errors, such as inaccuracies in reading the water level, environmental factors, or slight differences in temperature. Overall, the project demonstrated that resonance in an air column could be used effectively to measure sound speed, reinforcing the relationship between frequency, wavelength, and speed in wave mechanics. This experiment also highlighted how environmental conditions, such as temperature, can impact the speed of sound in air.
