At high school currently doing a unit on sound waves and frequencies. Any suggestions on experiments/investigations we could look at.
We have microphones, speakers, guitars, strobe lights... Any Suggestions?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Do you have any programs like logger pro?
 
Yesss, we have the logger program
and also cool edit pro which seems to be very good!
