Measuring the Speed of Sound
Measuring the speed of Sound using a tuning fork and a tube, pulling out the slider until the loudest sound can be heard and measuring the distance from the tuning fork. This gives the wavelength. Repeat this several times to get a good average, and then work out how much of a wavelength the distance is calculated at the velocity of sound in air at this temperature.
