SUMMARY

The discussion centers on determining the end correction (c) of sound waves in a single-end closed tube using the equation l + c = λ/4. Participants clarify that the gradient of the graph represents the speed of sound in air, denoted as v, which is calculated as v = 4 times the gradient. This interpretation resolves the confusion regarding the relationship between the gradient and the speed of sound.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of sound wave properties
  • Familiarity with the concept of wavelength (λ)
  • Knowledge of graph interpretation in physics
  • Basic principles of acoustics and tube resonance
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the relationship between wavelength and frequency in sound waves
  • Learn about end corrections in acoustics
  • Study the principles of resonance in closed tubes
  • Explore the mathematical derivation of sound speed in different mediums
USEFUL FOR

Students studying physics, particularly those focusing on acoustics, sound wave behavior, and resonance in closed tubes.

Homework Statement



to determine the c(end correction ) of sound wave of single end closed tube, the equtaion l +c= (lambda/4 ) is used , i don't understand the gradient is v/4 , then how does the author come up with the speed of sound in air is v=4 ?

No, the text means the speed, v, is 4*(gradient of graph).
