Lab 10 Resonance © 2023 Lone Star College. All Rights Reserved. 1 Name: _________ Objective Materials To observe the properties of resonance tubes. Variable length resonance tube Water 1024 Hz tuning fork 2048 Hz tuning fork Rubber mallet Procedure: In this lab, you will send a sound wave down a tube almost full with water. You vary the length of the air column (above the water level) in the tube by changing the level of water in the tube until you create a standing wave that amplifies the sound. Each frequency will create an antinode at the tube opening and a node at the water surface for four lengths. Each length corresponds to a different harmonic. 1. Before starting the experiment, you should compute the theoretical values of the tube lengths where you are creating standing waves. Using an estimated speed of sound of 345 m/s, compute the expected tube lengths using the following equation for two different frequencies, 1024 Hz and 2048 Hz: f n = n (v/4L) = 1, 3, 5, … When n = 1 f 1 = (v/4L); L = v/(4f 1 ) f=1024 Hz, v=345 m/s; L = 345/(4 * 1024) = 0.084 m = 8.4 cm f=2048 Hz, v=345 m/s; L = 345/(4 * 2048) = 0.042 m = 4.2cm

(These lengths will give you approximate points where you should get resonance) Record these theoretical values in Table 1.

Fill the resonance tube with water. Practice varying the height of the tube by moving the water tube up and down. The water level in the tube will rise when the tub is above the water line, and it will fall when the tube is below the water line. 3. Using the rubber mallet, hit the tuning fork. With the tuning fork oscillating, hold it so that the side of the tuning fork is directly over the top of the tube. Note: - Do not hit the tuning fork with anything other than the rubber mallet. - Hold the tuning fork as close to the opening of the tube as possible, but do not touch the tube. 4. Vary the length of the tube until you hear a standing wave amplification of the tuning fork for the first harmonic. Use your previously calculated theoretical values of tube length to help you find the approximate location of the water level. Record the actual/experimental length of the tube in Table 2 below.

Since this is an online lab, watch Resonance - Data Collection Video: and record the actual lengths of the tube corresponding to 4 harmonics for each tuning fork and record the data in Table 2 below. 6. Compare the Theoretical values with experimental value of the length of tubes. TABLE 2 - Experimental Length of Resonance Tubes: 1s t Harmonic 3rd Harmonic 5 th Harmonic 7 th Harmonic Exper.

For each of the "Experimental" lengths above, calculate the speed of sound using the equation in procedure step1 above. Record the results in Table 3 below. Example: f 1 = (v/4L) v= f 1 * 4 L 1exp where f 1 = 1024 Hz and L 1exp is the experimental length from the above table for 1st harmonic.

What can account for the difference? 2. What are the possible reasons for theoretical values being different than the experimental values for the length of the tubes?
