Day 1

Objective:
TLW use a tuning fork, adjustable length closed end resonant tube, thermometer and sound wave equations to verify the 1/4 wavelength closed tube rule

Procedure:

1. Record the room temperature in Celsius (~20 - 30°C)
2. Use this temperature to calculate the velocity of sound
3. Go to 3 different stations and get the fork to sing with the tube
   Look on the fork and record the actual frequency f
   Strike the fork on the wooden block ONLY and adjust the length of the tube by raising or lowering it in the water, holding the fork very close to the opening in the manner illsutrated above. At a specific point you will hear the fork volume dramatically increase. When the volume is loudest (resonance) carefully measure the length from the top of the tube to the surface of the water. Record this distance (d) in meters.
4. According to the closed tube rule 4 x d = (the length of the resonating tube is 1/4th the length of the sound wave). Compute and record the wavelength λ₁
5. With the velocity of sound and fork frequency f, compute the wavelength in the traditional equation way λ₂ = v / f
6. Compute your %error (λ₂-λ₁) x 100% / f

Day 2-4

Objective:
TLW use Anvil Studio Software to create original music or a new arrangement of a classic
