The below picture shows three cylinders filled with water to a different extent. The tuning forks L, M and N in vibration produce louder sound when held above the mouth of the cylinders. Which combination is correct for hearing a louder sound of the tuning fork?


- L – R, M – Q, N – P
- L – P, M – Q, N – R
- L – R, M – P, N – Q
- L – Q, M – R, N – P

Answer
L – Q, M – R, N – P
Reason — The frequency of a tuning fork is inversely proportional to the square of the length of its prongs i.e.,
So, tunning fork L has highest frequency, N has lowest frequency and M has medium frequency
Frequency is inversely proportional to the length of the air column i.e.,
So, air column Q has highest frequency, P has lowest frequency and R has medium frequency
Highest frequency tuning fork (L) should match with the highest frequency air column (Q).
So, L-Q combination will resonate.
Medium frequency tuning fork (M) should match with the medium frequency air column (R).
So, M-R combination will resonate.
Lowest frequency tuning fork (N) should match with the lowest frequency air column (P).
So, N-P combination will resonate.
