loudness increases as a vibrating tuning fork is brought nearer the end of a pipe containing air column due to
Answer Details
The correct answer is "resonance". When a vibrating tuning fork is brought near the end of a pipe containing an air column, the frequency of the sound produced by the tuning fork matches the natural frequency of the air column in the pipe. This causes the air column to vibrate with a large amplitude, producing a louder sound. This phenomenon is known as resonance. As the tuning fork is brought closer to the end of the pipe, the resonance effect becomes stronger, causing the sound to become louder. This effect is commonly used in musical instruments such as flutes and organs to produce a desired tone or pitch.
