Using a measurement technique called measurement and uncertainty, students will measure the speed of sound. Students need to use a microphone and Vernier LabQuest to record and measure the sound of a finger-snap echo.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] What the speed of sound is and its variation in different media, and the effect of temperature on the speed of sound.

Physics tutorial on measuring the speed of sound in dry air. An interactive form allows the student to practice solving problems involving the temperature dependence of the speed of sound.

Students discover factors that affect the speed of sound waves through a medium with illustrated examples and interactive practice problems.

In this physical science lab, students will calculate the speed of sound. They will observe that the speed of sound is constant, regardless of wavelength or frequency, and see the inverse relationship between wavelength and frequency.

Physiclips thoroughly presents the concept of sound with animations and film clips. Learn about the properties of sound and the physics behind sound waves with this site.

This lab is designed to have students investigate the relationship between the distance from an explosion and the time it takes the sound of the explosion to reach the observer. The temperature of the air can be changed by changing the...

Kids learn the basics of the science of sound, the speed of sound, and volume. What is sound and how does it move? It is a wave made from the vibration of molecules.

By the end of this section, you will be able to define Doppler effect, Doppler shift, and sonic boom; calculate the frequency of a sound heard by someone observing Doppler shift; and describe the sounds produced by objects moving faster...

Online physics lab experiment in which students use resonating waves inside of a closed-end air column to determine the speed of sound. The form allows students to check their answers and receive immediate feedback.

This is a list of 84 problems and exercises to solve based on the content of Chapter 17: Physics of Hearing from the AP Physics online text.

At this site, the student can find out thermophysical properties of different fluids and gases.

This page provides a summary of the content of each section of Chapter 17: Physics of Hearing from the AP Physics online text.

Felix Baumgartner travelled faster than the speed of sound when he jumped from the edge of space back down to earth. This record breaking jump hurtled Baumgartner through the sky at more than 800 miles an hour.

It used to be that you could get on a Concorde jet and fly across the Atlantic ocean faster than the speed of sound, but what does the future hold for supersonic flight? Sci Show takes a look. [8:16]

Determine the speed of a sound wave through an alien atmosphere. You must also find the frequency of the wave source and the wavelength of the wave.

This lab is designed to help students discover the connections between the linear density of a string and the tension in the string with the speed of the wave along the string. The program can be set with six identical strings or six...

Do you need to know a specific value of a specific quantity for any given substance? If so, this is the place. Find the heat capacity, heats of vaporization and fusion, and much more from this page.

Mapping the ocean floor must be done by indirect observation. One method involves bouncing a sonar signal off of the ocean floor and measuring the length of time this signal takes to return. This length can be translated into distance:...

An easy experiment through which students explore sound waves while tapping their fingers on a desk or table in a quiet room.

Includes exhaustive information and a wealth of activities pertaining to aerodynamics and the physics of flight.

Two wave graphs depicting a sine wave and relating the various characteristics (wavelength, amplitude, frequency, and period) of a wave to each other. The site includes an interactive JavaScript form in which the visitor enters one...
