Determining the temperature with this!
February 23, 2018
In physics we used a tuning fork, pvc pipe, water and a ruler to determine the speed of sound in the room, and from there we determined the temperature.
We used the tube in water which acts as a closed end resonating air column. We can extend the tube to find the first resonant length of the tube. It really sounds loud at a specific length due to how the 256 Hz tuning fork excited the air column.
