Apparatus View
Move the cylinder (water level) until resonance is strongest.
Controls
1) Frequency
Current frequency: 320.0 Hz
2) Cylinder Height (Air-Column Length)
Current length: 0.550 m
Hint: First-harmonic resonance is strongest near quarter wavelength.
3) Sound + Resonance
Resonance quality: Poor
4) Data Columns
Trial Data + 4L vs Period Graph
Record trials only when resonance is clear and stable.
Accepted trials
0 / 0
Fit equation
4L = --
Use the slope of 4L vs T to estimate speed of sound.
Assessment Mode
Practice prediction: given frequency find length, or given length find frequency.
