1 Oscilloscope Lab Seeing and Hearing waves

2 Sound Waves Sound can travel at different velocities through the same medium (air for example). Different temperatures changes the density of the molecules of the medium

3 Temperature Conversion T C = 5/9(T F – 32) – What is the temperature in °C if the room is 72 °F? – What is the melting point of water in °C? T F = 9/5 T C + 32 – What is the temperature in °F if the room is 22°C – What is the boiling point of water in °F?

4 Velocity of Sound Formula v S = 331 m/s + [0.6 m/s/°C 20 °C] What is the velocity of sound in a room that is 30 °C? What is the velocity of sound in a room that is 85 °F?

5 Wave Formula Wave Velocity = wavelength x frequency v = λ x f λ = V / f f = v / λ

6 http://www.physics-chemistry-interactive-flash- animation.com/electricity_electromagnetism_interactive/oscilloscope_description_tutorial_sounds_frequency.htm Key NumberVelocity (m/s)Frequency (Hz)Wavelength (m)

7 Type of Sound The auditory sound for humans is 20 Hz – 20,000 Hz – Sound that cannot be heard because of too low of frequency is Infrasonic or Subsonic – Sound that cannot be heard because of too high of frequency ultrasonic
