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

Causes of air pollution: Unwanted material present in air is referred as air pollution. The causes of air pollution may be * Natural process: For instance volcanic eruption and forest fire because of lightening. * Man- made process: for instance combustion of fossil fuels. Most of the air pollution is man – made. In metropolitan areas‚ combustion of petrol and its byproducts result in release of air pollutant. Incomplete combustion releases a toxic compound called carbon monoxide in to

AIR QUALITY : Air pollution comes from many different sources: stationary sources such as factories‚ power plants‚ and smelters and smaller sources such as dry cleaners and degreasing operations; mobile sources such as cars‚ buses‚ planes‚ trucks‚ and trains; and naturally occurring sources such as windblown dust‚ and volcanic eruptions‚ all contribute to air pollution. Air Quality can be affected in many ways by the pollution emitted from these sources. These pollution sources can also emit a
