Physical Lab Report : Measurement of speed of sound Writer: No. Experiment date: 31.10.20127.11.2012 Report date:10.11.2012 In this class,we start to do an experiment by only one person,which is named“measurement of speed of sound”. In fact,we are required to measure the wavelength and the frequency at the same same according to the formula“” . We can measure the frequency using the oscilloscope.And there are several about 15 minutes,I become familiar with them and begin operating my experiment. Experiment 1.Using the resonance method In order to make the error smaller,I first move S2 to the position about ,then ,I move the S2 until first received amplitude reaches maximum.At the same time,I set the digital indicator to “”and record it,which makes following records easier. When f=38.629Hz,the records are as followed: i 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 xi(mm) 0 4.44 8.99 13.48 17.88 22.45 26.80 31.36 35.94 40.43 44.91 49.22 53.97 58.27 62.96 67.34 There are two methods available to get an average distance from which we calculate the wavelength. A.Successive subtraction method: x9-x1 x10-x2 x11-x3 x12-x4 x13-x5 x14-x6 x15-x7 x16-x8 Unit(mm) 35.94 35.99 35.92 35.74 36.09 35.82 36.16 35.98 4.49 4.50 4.49 4.47 4.51 4.48 4.52 4.50 The average so .then,. B.Use a linear fit xi-x1=(i-1)/2 i 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 4.44 4.50 4.49 4.47 4.49 4.47 4.48 4.49 4.49 4.49 4.47 4.50 4.48 4.50 4.49 The average .so Combining the method A and B,the average speed of sound is . Experiment 2.Using phase comparison method In this experiment,I was excited to see the so-called Lissajous curves.But I met a problem when I try to read the position of S2 when the curves collapses into straight line to “ ”,while it is OK to read when it shows“ ”.Thus,I found a solution to deal with this problemI only recorded the position of S2 when the Lissajous curve showed “ ”.Then I mus
