Smartphone-Aided Measurements of the Speed of Sound in Different Gaseous Mixtures
Parolin, Sara Orsola; Pezzi, Giovanni
Physics Teacher, v51 n8 p508-509 Nov 2013
Here we describe classroom-based procedures aiming at the estimation of the speed of sound in different gas mixtures with the help of a plastic drain pipe and two iPhones or iPod touches. The procedures were conceived to be performed with simple and readily available tools.
