Question

Which one of the following scenarios accurately describes a condition in which resonance can occur? A. A column of air has a height equal to 1⁄8 of the wavelength of the sound waves produced by a tuning fork vibrating over the column of air in an open pipe that's partially immersed in water. B. A vibrating tuning fork is struck and begins to vibrate as the object used to strike it is placed away from the tuning fork. C. A person is holding a tuning fork on one end of a football field and another person is holding a separate tuning fork on the opposite end of the field. D. A pipe's length is equal to 1⁄2 of the wavelength of the sound waves produced by a tuning fork vibrating over one end of the pipe that's open to the air at both ends.

Answer 1

The correct answer from the choices is: D

Resonance is an event where an external force or vibration moves another system to oscillate with higher amplitude at certain frequences or there is a transfer of energy between two or more different storage modes.
