Determine the Speed of Sound Using the Principle of Resonance

See our Resonance Apparatus in action! The Resonance Apparatus is used for the classic experiment of determining the speed of sound using the principle of resonance in a tube closed at one end. Fill the apparatus with water and use a tuning fork or the included speaker to produce sound. Listen for the resonance while moving the inner tube, or use a sound sensor to locate the resonance lengths.
We recommend the use of a signal generator, such as the Frequency Generator, with the Resonance Apparatus’s included mini speaker and a sensor such as Go Direct Sound. To relate the speed of sound to temperature, you will need a thermometer or temperature probe, such as Go Direct Temperature.
We’d love to answer any questions you have about the Resonance Apparatus or our technology. Contact us at [e-mail].
