Broadway Speed of Sound In Air We are studying the speed of sound in air currently in our physics class. The speed of sound is the distance traveled by a sound wave through an elastic medium during a period of time. The speed of sound is extremely interesting‚ as it’s actually the speed of transmission of a small disturbance through a medium. The speed of sound occurs constantly‚ whenever a sound is heard. It’s everywhere‚ and in air we are discovering certain factors like altitude and air density

Title: Measuring the speed of sound. Research question: How to determine the speed of sound by using the relationship between the frequency of the signal generator‚ f and the length of air column in the tube‚ l . Variables: Manipulated | Frequency of the signal generator‚ f | Use different frequency of signal generator which are 1000Hz‚ 1400Hz‚ 1800Hz‚ 2000Hz‚ 2500Hz‚ 3000Hz and 3600Hz. | Responding | Length of air column in the tube‚ l (±0.5cm) | Measure the

SPH3UC – Lesson 1 1. A) Amplitude is the distance between the equilibrium and the maximum displacement. In this wave‚ it would be from the equilibrium to the top of the crest or bottom of the trough. B) C) Speed: m/s Frequency: Hz D) Speed: because speed is constant and not affected by the change in frequency. Wavelength:0.4 Hz. 2. In transvers waves the motion of the particles is perpendicular to the direction of the energy. In longitudinal waves it they are parallel

will investigate the properties of mechanical waves such as a longitudinal wave‚ focusing on the question: Does a change in the frequency of a wave result in a significant and convincing change in the speed of the wave? Hypothesis: Changing the frequency of the wave will not result in a change in speed because the wavelength will change proportionally as in theory. Student Designed Investigation Procedure/ Planning Procedure: 1. Three students would get into a group. 2. A Slinky would be

Measuring the Speed of Sound and Air using a Pulse-Echo Technique Purpose To determine the speed of sound in air using the pulse-echo experiment procedure‚ and comparing it to the predicted speed of sound in air using the measured air temperature of the classroom. Hypothesis I believe that the speed of sound it the air will be close to that of the predicted value. According to our predicted value‚ we should expect the speed of sound in the air to be at a speed of approximately 346 m/s. Materials

Speed of Sound in Air By: James Chen Lab Partner: Jin Zhang and Jake Salpeter Phys 130‚ Lab section: EE11 TA: Khaled Elshamouty Date of lab: October 29‚ 2013 Introduction Sound is a longitudinal (compressional) wave caused by a vibrating source. In this experiment‚ we use standing sound waves created by the tuning forks to determine the speed of sound in air in a tube when it reaches different resonances. In this lab we focused primarily on using standing sound waves (compressional
