United Scientific Supplies Resonance Apparatus
Resonance Apparatus allows students to investigate resonant behavior.
Supplier: United Scientific Supplies RSAPP01
Alert:
Prop 65 Warning
Description
- The Resonance Apparatus allows students to investigate the resonant behavior of an enclosed air column when it is stimulated by an external sound source.
- The air column lengths for multiple resonances at various frequencies can be found and the resulting data can be used to determine the speed of sound.
- A cylindrical acrylic tube is mounted vertically on a stand base and rod.
- The tube is open at the top and closed at the bottom by a rubber stopper with a hose barb.
- A scale is printed along the length of the tube.
- Flexible tubing connects the bottom of the tube to a large reservoir.
- The reservoir and tube are partially filled with water, creating an air space in the tube above the water level.
- The length of the space can be varied by adjusting the height of the reservoir on the support rod.
- A suitable sound source, which can be a tuning fork (not included) or a tone generator (not included), is held close to the mouth of the tube while the length of the air column is varied.
- Points of resonance where the sound in the tube becomes louder can be heard and measured.
- The sound level may also be recorded for later analysis using probeware.
