Objective:
To compare the sound of a coin/hexagonal nut at different
speed.
Material:
balloon and coin/hexagonal nut
Activity 1: High or Low Pitch
Instructions:
1. insert a coin/hexagonal in a deflated balloon.
2. blow the balloon to inflate.
3. once inflated, move the balloon in a circular manner such that the
coin/hexagonal nut would roll along inside the balloon.
4. try to vary the speed of the coin/heaxagonal nut, and observe the
sound.
Guide Questions:
1. Compare the sound you hear when the coin is moving faste and when
it is moving slow.
2. What does this imply?
Guide Question with Answer:
Compare the sound you hear when the coin is moving faster and when it is
moving slow.
Answer:
When the balloon spins rapidly, the coin inside is subject to fast
centrifugal forces. This causes the balloon’s surface to vibrate at a
higher frequency.
Faster spinning increases the rate of vibration of the balloon's
surface where the coin is touching or vibrating.
These faster vibrations lead to higher frequency sound waves,
which are perceived as a higher pitch.
Guide Question with Answer:
Compare the sound you hear when the coin is moving faster and when it is
moving slow.
Answer:
When the balloon spins slowly, the vibrations on the
balloon’s surface are less frequent.
Slower spinning decreases the rate of vibration of the
balloon’s surface, producing sound waves with lower frequency.
These lower frequency sound waves are heard as a lower
pitch.
Guide Question with Answer:
v = Tc(0.6m/s)+331m/s
where:
v = is the speed of sound in meters per second
(m/s),
T = is the temperature in degrees Celsius (℃).
Speed of Sound
v =(λ)(f)
where:
v = is the speed of sound (m/s),
λ = (lambda) is the wavelength of the sound (m)
f = is the frequency of the sound Hertz (Hz)
