Physics
Lab Partners:
1/28/12
Object: To see how wave length, speed, and temperature affect frequency
Supplies: * 2 six inch pieces of copper pipe and 1 four inch piece * Freezer * Hot tap water * Bowl * Paper towels
Procedure:
1. Hold one of the six inch pieces of pipe in hand and plug the bottom with finger 2. Blow into the pipe until you find the right angle to create a tone 3. Vary the force with which you blow. Note differences in pitch 4. Repeat steps 1-3 with the other piece of 6-inch pipe note any differences 5. Repeat steps 1-3 with the other piece of 4-inch pipe note any differences 6. Place one of the six inch pieces of pipe in
