Objective The objective of this lab was to use standing waves in a resonance tube in order to measure the speed of sound. Standing waves were used due their constructive and destructive interference‚ which lead to nodes and antinodes in the wave.The nodes could be marked because they were silent‚ and the antinodes were loud.
