Correct answer: B. B

  • A. A
  • B. B
  • C. C
  • D. D

Explanation

L = n * (λ/4)where 'n' represents the harmonic number (n = 1, 3, 5, ... for the first, second, third, etc., resonances).Let's analyze each length shown in the image: * For n = 1 (First Resonance - L1): The image correctly shows L1 as the first resonance, where a node is at the water surface and an antinode is at the open end. L1 = 1 * (λ/4) = λ/4 This matches the value given in the diagram. * For n = 2 (Second Resonance - L2): The "second resonance" in this context refers to the second possible resonant length for the closed-end tube, which corresponds to the third harmonic (n=3). Here, there will be two nodes and two antinodes, or generally (2n-1) nodes and antinodes. L2 = 3 * (λ/4) = 3λ/4 * For n = 3 (Third Resonance - L3): The "third resonance" refers to the third possible resonant length, which corresponds to the fifth harmonic (n=5). L3 = 5 * (λ/4) = 5λ/4

About Physical Quantities and Units

Physical quantities combine a numerical value with a unit, and are expressed using SI base units or derived units such as newtons, joules and pascals. The topic covers prefixes, unit conversion, dimensional analysis, significant figures and measurement uncertainty, while distinguishing scalar quantities from vectors where direction matters.
