Mach 1: The Speed of Sound
| Division: | International | | Category: | Intermediate | | Region: | Central Alberta | | City: | Eckville, AB | | School: | Spruce View School | | Abstract: | The purpose of this project was to calculate the speed of sound in air using the principle of acoustical resonance, a tuning fork, and a pipe with one open and one closed end. The speed of sound was found to be 336.5 meters per second, a very reasonable calculation considering the altitude and the temperature of the room the experiment took place in. |
