The velocity of sound by means of resonance

University of Salahaddin Hawler Education College Physics Dept. Shaqlawa Name of experiment The velocity of rifle by means of resonance tube closed at one hold back. No. experiment 5 Name Goran Kamaran A. razaq Stage 1st Class Group C Date 12/12/2013 Apparatuses- This research lab utilizes the following materials Resonance tube Pail of water Tuning forks Rubber mallet Measuring magnetic tape Thermometer Thorey- Fill the tube with water to about 10cm to the open end of the tube. To adjust the level of the water in the tube. move the side bucket up and defeat feather in the vertical irection.Use five different correct forks and the appropriate head of the mallet. Strike the tuning fork with the appropriate mallet above the open end of the tube and slowly start lowering the side bucket so the water level goes down until you hear an Increase In sound which Is called resonance. Record the location where the resonance occurred and figure the height. After you draw the first resona nce, repeat by lowering the water further down the tube until you get a total of two resonance recordings. Repeat the experiment with a different tuning fork and record the ppropriate data.Each fork was struck above the water level and the water level was slowly moved down until a resonance was heard. The distance where the resonance occurs were recorded and the speed of the waves were determined. The experimental speed of sound was and then compared to the calculated theoretical speed of sound. The results obtained were very close to the theoretical speed of sound thus proving that they were precise. Ill.
