In 1961‚ Milgram was able to make the participants agree with the experiment. These results led to people trying out these trails because the participants knew the shock would be painful but not dangerous. With that being said‚ it shows you the mindset of the people during that time. People were laid back and were

Part I - Illumination Experiments (1924-27) These experiments were performed to find out the effect of different levels of illumination (lighting) on productivity of labour. The brightness of the light was increased and decreased to find out the effect on the productivity of the test group. Surprisingly‚ the productivity increased even when the level of illumination was decreased. It was concluded that factors other than light were also important. Part II - Relay Assembly Test Room Study (1927-1929)

investigate the relationship between the speed of sound in air through the pulse-echo experiment and the measured air temperature. Hypothesis: I believe the measured air temperature will affect the speed of sound because sound waves are longitudinal waves composed of the alternating compressions and rarefactions in air. If the air temperature is below 0°C‚ then the speed of sound would be lower than 331.6 m/s and if the air temperature is above 0°C‚ then the speed of sound would be higher than 331.6 m/s.
