AS Β· Waves II: stationary waves; harmonics; boundary conditions; string/air column examples

In a lab, a 0.75 m air column is closed at one end and driven by a loudspeaker at the open end. Strong resonances are observed at 230 Hz and then at 690 Hz. The cork is removed so the tube is now open at both ends; the length and room conditions are unchanged. Which frequency is now the lowest resonance for this open tube?

A2 Β· Nuclear II: mass–energy; binding energy per nucleon; fission/fusion contexts (qual.)

Which estimate is closest to the energy released per event when a U-235 nucleus undergoes fission into two medium-mass fragments? A lab chart shows the average binding energy per nucleon rises from about 7.6 MeV in U-235 to about 8.5 MeV in the fragments. Assume about 235 nucleons end up bound in the fragments and estimate the energy release from the change in binding.
