Speed of Sound in Air

Speed of Sound in Air

Purpose

In this lab students will measure the amount of time for a series of echoes, and calculate the time for one echo.

Discussion

Sound travels more quickly in solids (and liquids) because of the proximity of particles in the material. The longitudinal sound wave travels more efficiently through solids.
