The first two lengths of an air column, in a resonance column method, were found to be 32.1 cm and 99.2 cm, respectively. Determine the end correction for the tube. If it is known that velocity of sound in the laboratory is 332 m/s, then find the frequency of the vibrating tuning fork.

A simple apparatus for demonstrating resonance in an air column is depicted in figure. A vertical pipe open at both ends is partially submerge in water, and a tuning fork vibration at an unknown frequency is placed near the top of the pipe. The length L of the air column can be adjusted by moving the pipe vertically. The sound waves generated by the fork are reinforced of the pipe. For a certain pipe, the smallest value of L for which a peak occurs in the sound intensity is 9.00 cm.

An air column in a glass tube is open at one end and closed at the other by a movable piston. The air in the tube is warmed above room temperature, and a 384 Hz tuning fork is held at the open end. Resonance is heard when the piston is 22.8 cm from the open end and again when it is 68.3 cm from the open end.

What speed of sound is implied by these data?
