Principle
It should be verified, how the frequency measured from the stationary microphone changes, when a constant frequency fed loudspeaker is moved slowly towards or away from the microphone. Here, the frequency should be represented as a function of the speed of the sound ...
Investigate the spectra of different musical instruments. Show that the acoustic spectrum can be influenced by thetype of excitation. Different musicalinstruments supply different spectra:even when the same note is played.
The monochord can be used to link together knowledge of music and physics. In music, notes are named with letters. The intervals between the notes also have certain names. The monochord is a musical instrument and a "measurement instrument" at the same time. If ...
Principle Cork dust in a glass tube is set into tiniest motion by a sound wave. If the frequency of the sound wave matches the natural frequency of the volume in the glass tube, a standing wave will form. The corc dust then assembles in visible patterns that show ...
Principle:
When a sound wave of a particular frequency is divided into two coherent components (like, for example, light waves in an interferometer experiment), and if the path of one of the component waves is altered, it is possible to calculate the wavelength of the sound w ...
A plane ultrasonic wave is subjected to diffraction at single slits of various widths and at various double slits. The intensity of the diffracted and interfering partial waves are automatically recorded using a motordriven, swivel ultrasound detector and a PC.
A plane ultrasonic wave strikes a Fresnel zone plate. The sound intensity is determined as a function of the distance, using an ultrasonic detector that can be moved in the direction of the zone plate axis.
Tasks
Sounds are generated by oscillations. The sound volume is influenced by their relative amplitude, while the sound pitch depends on their frequency. This relationship is examined based on three examples: oscillating ruler, tuning fork, string of a mon ...
This experiment demonstrates, particularly clearly, the propagation of sound waves in air and, thereby, the working principle of the eardrum that is caused to oscillate by pressure waves.
The movement of the membrane is transfe ...
The transmission (or conduction) of sound through a solid body means: One end of the solid body is caused to oscillate (e.g. by placing a tuning fork on it). This oscillation propagates through the solid body to the other end of the solid body. The tr ...
The aim of this experiment is to enable the students to find out that sound can also propagate in other media, e.g. liquids. For this purpose, they study the propagation of the sound of a tuning fork in a tube that can be filled with air or water. For ...
The aim of this experiment is to familiarise the students with the "measure Acoustics" software. First, the students record the sounds of two tuning forks with a microphone. Then, they analyse the frequency spectrum and the course of the amplitude of ...
Oscillations can be transferred through a medium (e.g. air or wood) in the form of sound waves. An oscillation with exactly one oscillation frequency is called harmonic oscillation or pure oscillation. In the amplitude-time-diagram, such an oscillatio ...
The human ear registers deep and high sounds as well as faint and loud sounds. Are there limits or can we hear any kind of high and deep sounds? In this experiment, the students learn that the human ear can perceive sound only within a limited frequen ...
