Sound is all around us.
We hear it and we can feel it's vibrations, but we can't see it.
Like other forces, we have to use instruments and apparatus to determine
its properties. The Physics of Sound and sound waves is an exciting
area for exploration. We've provided lots of products for both
grade school and college education. Many great things for science
fairs and science projects.
Science
Kits
Demonstrate the principles and properties of
sound. Explore how sound is produced and transmitted.
Introduces the concepts of pitch, volume, and amplitude. Investigate
the physics behind sound energy. Science experiments and activities
include sound wave theory, reflection of sound, force of sound waves,
sound transmission, vibrations and perception.
Vibrations
There are two primary ways to explore the
world of sound vibrations. Start with tuning forks as they are the
standard for exploring pitch. That's why they are used to tune
musical instruments. The Sonometer utilizes a hollow wooden
resonance chamber, same as the violin, bass, guitar and piano. It is used
to verify the laws of vibrating strings, frequency comparison with
vibrating bodes and determination of the frequency of a tuning fork by
tuning a sting in union with it.
Wave Analysis 1
Basic sound physics apparatus. The Longitudinal Wave Demonstrator
simulates the action of sound waves and demonstrates propagation,
reflection, interference and a number of other resonant models of
longitudinal waves. The flat coil spring and long slinky spring are
used to visually demonstrate how sound waves work..

More advanced science
apparatus. The Kundt's
Apparatus is used for demonstrating
formation of stationary longitudinal waves in air or gasses and for
determining the wavelength and velocity of sound in metal rods, aid and
other gases.
The Resonance Apparatus is used for
experimental determination of the wave length and velocity of sound in air
by locating resonance positions of an air column. The
Sound Wave Demonstrator
is excellent for demonstrating the properties of sound such as frequency,
amplitude, reflection, resonance, interference and diffraction. The
Ripple Tank
provides an excellent way to actually show the generation,
propagation, reflection, interference and diffraction of sound waves.
Excellent for physics classes.
Speed of Sound Demonstrator The electronics of this device
allows student to accurately determine the speed of sound in air with a
short distance (3 to 4 meters). This helps reduce errors due to
wind, noise, or attenuation.
