Mr Powell 2012 Index Practical Skills are assessed using OCR set tasks. The practical work suggested below may be carried out as part of skill development. Centres are not required to carry out all of these experiments. Students should gain a qualitative understanding of superposition effects together with confidence in handling experimental data. Students should be able to discuss superposition effects and perform experiments leading to measurements of wavelength and wave velocity. Study hearing superposition using a signal generator and two loudspeakers. Demonstrate stationary waves using a slinky spring, tubes and microwaves. Determine the speed of sound in air by formation of stationary waves in a resonance tube.

Mr Powell 2012 Index The closed tube must have a node or lack of motion at an end. (displacement model) Particles must get stuck here (stopped) Pressure is always low at the open end. Stationary Waves in Tubes.... The open tube will have max movement (amplitude) of particles at both ends with antinodes. Musical instruments have two open ends but reflection does still occur & resonance. Pressure must be low or room pressure at the end of the tube or antinode. Motion Pressure Change Node LowHigh AntinodeHighLow TASK: Write your own version in your own words! Use the book to help and the next slide as well!

Mr Powell 2012 Index Why are nodes formed in fixed positions? Finding the Speed of Sound Experiment… You have the equipment shown in the diagram and also a selection of tuning forks and tube sizes. Record your results in a suitable table and see if you can work out the speed of sound…. Ensure you quote any errors (converting to an overall error) and write a conclusion about your results.

Mr Powell 2012 Index Typical Exam Question (ii)When the fundamental wave is heard, the length of the air column is 0.32 m. Determine the wavelength of the standing wave formed. wavelength = m [1] (iii)The speed of sound in air is 330 m s–1. Calculate the frequency of the tuning fork. frequency = Hz [3] [Total 6 marks] 1.The figure below shows a long glass tube within which standing waves can be set up. A vibrating tuning fork is placed above the glass tube and the length of the air column is adjusted, by raising or lowering the tube in the water, until a loud sound is heard. (i)The standing wave formed in the air column is the fundamental (the lowest frequency). Show on the figure the position of a node – label as N, and an antinode – label as A. [2]
