Relationship Between Frequency And Longitudinal Waves
Lab Report 2
Name: Waqas Kampulvi
Frequency & wave length Experiment
Aim:
The wavelength and frequency of light are very closely related, our aim for this experiment is to determine the relationship between wavelength and frequency and the impact or change in the numbers as a result.
Apparatus:
Loud Speaker
Signal Generator
Ruler
Microphone
Audio Analyzer
Plastic Tube
Supporting Research:
All sound waves which are travelling through the air are in fact longitudinal waves (running lengthwise rather than across), within these sound waves there is compressions and rarefactions. Sound waves travel through air at a high speed but in fact travel even faster from a dense material, these lines tells us that;
Sound will propagate at a certain speed that depends on the medium, and other factors. The denser the molecular structure, the easier it is for the molecules to transfer sound energy; compared to air, sound travels faster in denser media such as liquids and solids (Ramsey 6)
As sound passes through air, the particles of air don’t vibrate in a crisscross formation instead it’s an oscillation movement which continuously occurs. In simple words the sound waves traveling through the air are longitudinal waves.
Longitudinal waves could be understood if we …show more content…
Now we have got a value of max amplitude which will help us further in the process. We then take the microphone and place it on the minimum amplitude point found within the tube. We take notation of both maximum amplitude and minimum amplitude by subtracting one another we will get the difference or the distance between the two points which we will multiply by 4 and divided by 100 the results could be used to get speed of the sound wave
