Question

I have a question about a lab I did on resonance. We did a lab where we used tuning forks to create resonance with a tube open at one end with the ultimate goal of measuring the speed of sound. We also previously did a lab on standing waves on a guitar string.

I was given this question on my lab

The motion of a standing wave on the vibrating string in a previous experiment is very similar to the motion of sound waves in a resonance tube. However, what are the main differences between the types of waves in both experiments?

I honestly have no idea, other than the fact that the string is fixed at both ends. They are both sound waves, so can they really be different types of waves?

Explanation / Answer

In tube we get standing wavee. they are longitudinal waves.

On string we get standing waves.They are transverse waves.
