Chladni figures-making sound visible   The Chladni figures are named after the German scientist Ernst Florens Friedrich Chladni (1756-1827). Chladni excited the normal modes of thin metal plates covered with sand by stroking ... more

Sound waves propagate longitudinally in gases. The group velocity here is equal to the phase velocity. In this experiment, we will measure the propagation time of a sound pulse between two microphone probes in Kundt’s tube ... more

Sound waves propagate in gases in the form of longitudinal waves. The overall velocity is equivalent to the phase velocity. In this experiment a standing wave is generated inside Kundt’s tube with both ends closed off. The ... more

The equipment set consists of test rods of various lengths, made of different materials, two microphone probes, a microphone box for recording and amplifying signals and outputting them to an oscilloscope along with three mats. ... more

In solids, sound is propagated in the form of longitudinal and transverse waves. However, there is a considerable difference in the speed of the two types of sound waves, since longitudinal sound waves are determined by the elastic ... more

The periodic variations of density caused by an ultrasonic standing wave pattern in a liquid act as an optical grating for the diffraction of a monochromatic parallel light beam that is transmitted in the direction perpendicular ... more
