Resonance Apparatus – Simple Form
Model Number: MTW-11
The Resonance Apparatus – Simple Form is a compact acoustics instrument designed for measuring the resonant length of an air column excited by a tuning fork. Micro Technologies supplies the apparatus with an outer tube approximately 292 × 25.4 mm in size, securely mounted on a stable base, together with a sliding inner tube approximately 305 mm long. The telescopic arrangement allows the effective air-column length to be varied from approximately 350 to 530 mm. By adjusting the column until maximum sound intensity is obtained with a suitable tuning fork, resonance conditions can be identified and measured. The simple construction makes the apparatus useful for experiments involving resonance, wavelength, frequency, and sound propagation in air.
Product Specification
The Resonance Apparatus – Simple Form is designed for practical investigations of resonance in an air column. It provides an adjustable tube arrangement in which the effective length of the air column can be varied until resonance is produced with a suitable tuning fork.
The apparatus consists of an outer tube measuring approximately 292 mm in length and 25.4 mm in diameter. This tube is securely fixed to a stable base, providing an upright arrangement suitable for routine laboratory operation.
A 305 mm long sliding inner tube is fitted within the outer tube. Moving this inner tube changes the effective length of the air column and allows resonance positions to be located for different tuning-fork frequencies.
Micro Technologies supplies the apparatus with an air-column adjustment range of approximately 350 to 530 mm. This variable arrangement provides sufficient flexibility for conducting resonance investigations with suitable acoustic frequencies.
During an experiment, a vibrating tuning fork is positioned near the open end of the tube. The air-column length is then gradually adjusted. At a particular length, the natural frequency of the air column corresponds appropriately with the tuning-fork frequency and a noticeable increase in sound intensity occurs, indicating resonance.
The measured resonant length can be used in suitable calculations involving wavelength and frequency. This makes the apparatus useful for studying the relationship between the dimensions of an air column and its acoustic response.
With its straightforward telescopic tube arrangement, stable base, and practical adjustment range, the Resonance Apparatus – Simple Form provides a durable and economical setup for fundamental acoustics and resonance investigations.

FAQs
What is the Resonance Apparatus used for?
The apparatus is used to measure the resonant length of an air column when excited by a suitable tuning fork and to investigate fundamental sound and resonance relationships.
How is resonance produced in the apparatus?
A vibrating tuning fork is held near the opening of the tube while the air-column length is adjusted. A noticeable increase in sound intensity occurs when a resonance condition is reached.
What is the air-column adjustment range?
The effective air-column length can be varied from approximately 350 mm to 530 mm.
What is the size of the outer tube?
The outer tube measures approximately 292 mm in length and 25.4 mm in diameter.
What is the length of the sliding inner tube?
The sliding inner tube is approximately 305 mm long.
Can different tuning forks be used?
Yes. Suitable tuning forks of different frequencies can be used where their resonance conditions fall within the practical adjustment range of the apparatus.
Can wavelength be determined using this apparatus?
Yes. Resonant-length measurements can be used with the appropriate air-column relationship to determine or investigate the wavelength of sound.
Does the apparatus require electricity?
No. The basic apparatus operates mechanically and uses a tuning fork as the acoustic excitation source.
Is the tuning fork included?
A suitable tuning fork may be supplied separately unless specifically included in the ordered configuration.
How should the apparatus be maintained?
Keep the tubes clean and dry, ensure the inner tube slides smoothly, and protect the apparatus from impact or deformation that could affect tube alignment.
Can Resonance Apparatus be supplied in bulk?
Yes. Micro Technologies can supply bulk quantities for physics laboratories, acoustics laboratories, universities, colleges, research facilities, distributors, and institutional projects.
