Question 238:
In a resonance tube experiment, a tube fixed length is closed at one end and several tuning forks of increasing frequency used to obtain resonance at the open end. If the tuning fork with the lowest frequency which gave resonance had a frequency f<sub style='font-size: smaller;'>1</sub> and the next tuning fork to give resonance had a frequency f<sub style='font-size: smaller;'>2</sub>, find the ratio \(\frac{f^2}{f^2}\).
