Lab 7: Standing Waves in a Tube

Lab Purpose:
     Determine the length of a tube based upon standing waves being created as it is spun around in a
     circle.

Part 1: Record Data



Open tube gives us the equation f = n*v/(2*L)
Unknowns are: L, N1, N2
We however say that N2 = N1 + 1, due to N2 being the next harmonic that was heard.

Going through the calculations we obtain the length of the tube to be .837 m
