Lab: Speed of Sound in Air

Today you are completing a lab to verify the speed of sound in air:

Lab: Speed of Sound in Air

Here are some tips/reminders that were on the board:



If you missed this lab, there is a way to do it online. This simulator is the best I could find because it explains the lab and most closely emulates the physical process involved: http://physics.bu.edu/~duffy/HTML5/speed_of_sound.html

The only problem is that it only has 3 available frequencies, and we need at least 6 for a graph, preferably 8. Go ahead and...ugh, I have trouble even typing this...go ahead and make your graph with those three data points. When you turn in the lab, write at the top that you used the online simulator.

You also received a practice test for your test on Thursday:
