Happy Prom! 💃🕺
Today, we'll have the opportunity to do problem solving to practice for the assessment.
Also, if you have not yet finished them, complete the packet: Resonance and Guitar Strings (TPC), Resonance and Open-End Air Columns (TPC), Resonance and Closed-End Air Columns (TPC).
Homework: Finish the packet above. It will be collected at the beginning of next period on Monday.
We'll be in the other Physics Honors classroom today - 117 next door.
Today, our goal is to perform a lab activity where we experimentally calculate the speed of sound in air using what we know about resonance in pipes that are closed at one end. We'll record the data on LAB Speed of Sound. Use the following information to calculate an experimental value for the speed of sound in air:
v = f λ
Accepted value for speed of sound in air v = 331m/s + (0.6m/s⋅°C) T where T is the temperature of the air in Celsius. You'll use this formula to compare to your experimental value.
(Don't use a tuning fork below G 384Hz. Try to find at least 2 resonance lengths.)
Find your experimental value using at least two data points. Then do a percent error analysis.
Handouts: LAB Speed of Sound
Presentation: LAB Speed of Sound INTRO
Homework: If you have all of your data, finish the calculations for homework. If you need more time to get data, you'll have some time next class. Unit Assessment on Waves & Sound on Friday, June 12th.
Today, we'll spend more time studying for our waves assessment. Also, if you haven't finished the lab, you can complete that today too.
