molecules of oncoming air forming a node at the closed end. When the air
reaches the open end, the reflected compression wave becomes a rarefaction. It
bounces back through the tube to the closed end, where it is reflected. the wave
has now completed a single cycle. It has passed through the tube four times
making the closed tube, one fourth the length of a sound wave. By a continuous
sound frequency, standing waves are produced in the tube. This creates a pure
tone.
We can use this knowledge of one fourth wavelength to create our .....

chemical energy.
Fuel can take the form of gases, solids or liquids. When fuels combine
with oxygen from the air, they release their stored energy as heat. We
recognize this process as burning. The individual relies on food for fuel
which contains energy©giving substances that our bodies can store until we
need this energy to use our muscles. When we do use our muscles within us,
