Experimenting with Woodwind Instruments
LoPresto, Michael C.
Physics Education, v42 n3 p296-303 May 2007
Simple experiments involving musical instruments of the woodwind family can be used to demonstrate the basic physics of vibrating air columns in resonance tubes using nothing more than straightforward measurements and data collection hardware and software. More involved experimentation with the same equipment can provide insight into the effects of holes in the tubing and other factors that make simple tubes useful as musical instruments. (Contains 4 tables, 6 figures, and 7 footnotes.)
