Measuring the Speed of Sound

Measuring the Speed of Sound
  • To measure the speed of sound, you can set up an experiment with two microphones.
  • Use the signal generator to produce a sound from the loudspeaker and use the computer to measure the time taken between the first microphone detecting the sound and the second microphone detecting the sound.
  • Finally, use speed=distance/time to calculate the speed of sound.
