Resonance Tube

 

Resonance Tube Demo Picture

  • Purpose: Demonstrate resonance and measure speed of sound.
  • Two different resonance tubes are shown above.

For Smaller Tube

  • Strike tuning fork on rubber pad; place fork near larger
    opening of tube; slide inner tube in and out until resonance is heard. Use
    tube length and frequency to determine speed of sound.

For larger Tube

  • Use speaker and function generator to find resonant frequency
    of tube. Once resonance is found, use vernier microphone to locate nodes and
    anti-nodes.Use tube length and frequency to determine speed of sound.
