Question

What would happen if resonance tube is not vertical?​

Answer 1

Answer:

In the experiment the tube is clamped in a vertical position , so as to enclose a short length of air column .

Answer 2

If the tube is not held in vertical position, there will be more chances of error in measuring the natural frequency.

Explanation:

• While performing the experiment with the resonance tube, the tube is held in a vertical position.
• In the vertical position, the air column becomes short in length and can be easily measured.
• The natural frequency of sound depends on the diameter and length of the tube.
• Therefore if the tube is not held in a vertical position then we will not be able to get the required results.  
• There will be more chances of error in measuring the natural frequency.
