Question:

resonance tube lab help?

For some tuning fork frequencies is it possible to hear resonance at more than one length of the plastic tube? Why?

Answer:

Because the tube might be long enough to reflect the third harmonic( if it is a tube closed at one end ). It is easier to find the 2nd resonance with the higher pitched tuning forks.
