Experiment set ACOUSTICS 1
Impressive introductory experiments
This experiment set provides students with exciting experiments on the following:
- Perceiving distinctions between audible phenomena including specific tones, regular sound, noise and bangs
- Investigating the relationship between the volume and the amplitude of oscillation of strings as well as that between pitch and wavelength using self-built monochords
- Background and applications for sound insulation, sound focussing and beats
- Propagation of sound in air and in solid materials
- Exploring the phenomenon of resonance
Quality and precision
With this MEKRUPHY experiment set students get to lay their hands on high-quality equipment, especially the two tuning forks and their precisely matched sound boxes, but also the specially manufactured tailpiece and pegbox.
