| Objective: | Determine the speeds of sound propagated by longitudinal and transverse waves in solids |
| Thematic focus: .. |
| • | To determine the speed of sound for longitudinal waves in polyacrylic from the propagation time of a 1-MHz ultrasound signal. |
| • | To measure the transmission of longitudinal and transverse sound waves in solids through an inclined, planeparallel plate. |
| • | To determine the speed of sound for longitudinal and transverse waves from the critical angle of total reflection. |
| • | To determine the elastic modulus E, the shear modulus G and Poisson’s ratio of a solid µ from the two speeds. |
| Experiment description: .. |
