Sound experiments

© Sean Foley 2003

There are three sound experiments on the leaving certificate physics course. To access a Java applet simulation of a particular experiment just click on the experiment title below.

  1. Measurement of the speed of sound in air
  2. Investigation of the variation of fundametal frequency of a stretched string with length
  3. Investigation of the variation of fundametal frequency of a stretched string with tension

Note: Experiment 3 is required only for higher level
