PHYSICS CLASS ACTIVITY
CLASS ACTIVITY: TUNING FORK FREQUENCY
Class Activity: Tuning Fork Frequency Goal: –To measure the frequency generated by 5 different tuning forks. Sound detectors will be utilized to determine f –Compare the measured frequency to the rated frequency. –Calculate the of the sound waves created
Data: Sound Detectors 1.Generate and capture the wave pattern created by each tuning fork. 2.Determine f
Sample Data 5 waves t = 10 ms =.01s f = # cycles time = 5 cycles.01 s = 500 Hz
Class Activity: Tuning Fork Frequency f rated # cycles t (s)f measured (m) v = 340m/s
