An undergraduate experiment for the measurement of the speed of sound in air: phenomena and discussion

In this paper, we present and discuss some phenomena in an undergraduate experiment for the measurement of the speed of sound in air. A square wave distorts when connected to a piezoelectric…

Direct speed of sound measurement within the atmosphere during a national holiday in New Zealand

Measuring the speed of sound belongs to almost any physics curriculum. Two methods dominate, measuring resonance phenomena of standing waves or time-of-flight measurements. The second type is…
