Does anyone know of any experiments with sound waves?

Answer 1

i know 4 types for motion of sound waves (experiments):
1) Reflection of sound
2) Refraction of sound
3) Interference of sound
4) Diffraction of sound

with help of Google or Yahoo search u can find any experiment u want about anything in these 4 types

Answer 2

There are quite a few and I dont know exactly what you are looking for (try being more or less specific..LOL)

If you are looking for experiments you could do yourslef about things like the Speed of Sound you should check out this website, theres a lot of cool experiments...

Answer 3

stretch a balloon over the open end of a coffee can...cut a hole on the other end (about 2.5 inces in diameter). it should look like a drum on the top and hole in the middle of the can on the bottom. pulling the ballon back and letting it go will create a wave pulse that can shoot across a room.....try putting out candles from 6 feet away.

Answer 4

set up two speakers outside about 4 meter apart and get them to play the same freqency (you will prob a 1 frequency signal from the net try get a frequency that has a wavelength of about 1 meter) draw a straigth line connecting the two speakers, walk about 5 meteres paerpendicular to the line, then walk parralel to the line,
as u walk u will here fringes of sound (similar to the fringes created from youngs experiment) this demonstration demonstrats the effect of interference

for the privious answer:
the name of the object is a tuning fork which also demonstrates the effect of interference

Answer 5

Use two boards and clap them together as you get closer to a wall, when you reach the point where the echo and the clap can no longer be distinguished you have reached the shortest interval your ears can seperate, measure the distance and divide by the speed of sound to find out your shortest interval of seperation!

Answer 6

Haven't looked. But if a Fender Amp can make an impact on your chest cavity, with the right rig, d'ya think you could pump it up to white noise to the point you could knock down a building, say?

Answer 7

Too vague, what property of sound are you interested in?
I have personally determined that sound from a speaker can travel through air and reach my ears.

Answer 8

yes. i forget what they are called, but its a horseshoe type piece of metal. my psysics teacher banged it on the table and it immited a constant frequency. he then tied a string to it, banged it and swung it around his head, and it had a constantly changing sound. this can be done with anything that has a constant frequency. theres a formula for it to i just don't remember it

Answer 9

Try shouting at a policeman ... let me know the results
