Simple Resonance Tube

Easy to use kit to investigate sound wavelength.

• Designed for investigations of the relationship between wavelength, frequency, and speed of waves
• Activity guide included
• Enhance experiments with Smartphone apps
• Correlates to NGSS Standards 4-PS4-1, MS-PS4-1, and HS-PS4-1

Explore the concept of acoustic resonance with this easy-to-use kit. Students will use a tuning fork or a smartphone app to generate sound through a metal tube of variable length, which is closed at one end and open at the other. They will investigate which lengths of tube amplify sound, drawing connections to the frequency and speed of the sound in air.

Contents: Telescoping metal tube of variable length (32 to 60 cm); Tape measure, 2 m; Tuning fork, 1024 Hz; Activity guide.
