The diagram shows two tubes. [Figure showing two tubes, X and Y. Tube X is closed at the bottom, open at the top. Tube Y is open at both ends.] The tubes are identical except tube X is closed at its lower end while tube Y is open at its lower end. Both tubes have open upper ends.

Which tuning fork will produce resonance when placed just above tube Y?
