Alondra De Horta- Reyes Melanie Bishara Experiment 6: The Oscilloscope February 14, 2017 Physics 122 LAB: Tuesday at 3:00pm-5:50pm
1. Theory: In this experiment we learned how to work with a digital oscilloscope and make different kinds and different distance of sound to record. We mainly were looking to calculate the exact speed of sound at the moment of the sound. The oscilloscope gave us most of the information in our charts by simply moving the horizontal lines to the two main highest points in the sound and pushing buttons that would give us other numbers like the V rms , except one. In our data for Period and Frequency in order to find the Period theoretical you had to multiply the Sweet Rate SW and divisions between the two highest points. For example, in our hum data the sweep rate SW was 2.00 ms/ and it was 3 divisions away from the other point. So when we multiple these two we get 6.00 ms for our period theoretical. 2. Procedure The procedures were the exact same as the lab manual with the exception of the ‘Note’ data. From the ‘note’ category we played Whitney Houston “I will always love you” as the sound. 3.
