Experiment 5: Introduction to Sound

Introduction:
In this experiment we observe and measure various properties of sound waves.

Equipment:


-Loggerpro
-Microphone
-Tuning fork

Procedure:



Two of us tried our best to say "AAAAAAAA" smoothly into the microphone, in the third section of this experiment, we had to use a tuning fork instead. The sound waves were recorded by loggerpro and we got to observe a graphic representation of the waves to calculate some of their various qualities.

Data/Calculations:
Graph for part 1:




Graph for Part 2:



Graph for Part 3:




Graph for Part 4:


Summary:
It was rather difficult to get any decent looking waves in this experiment, especially using our voices because even the most minimal alteration during the process would most likely cause the wave to change.
