Relationship between Speed of Sound and Air Temperature

In this (lengthy) lab, students will investigate the effect of air temperature on the speed of sound.
Introduction:
What is sound? How does it travel in air? Show that sound demonstrates the
characteristics of a wave travelling in a medium.
We asked the question, How does the air temperature affect the speed of sound? Find
reliable and credible sources of information to help you hypothesize how air temperature
should affect the speed of sound.
Briefly describe the experimental model used to test your hypothesis.
Methods:
Describe your experimental model in such a way that it is reproducible that means that
another person could repeat your experiment. Make sure the clap-echo method will be
clearly understood by your reader. Describe how and why the clap-echo method should
work. How does it rely on the characteristics of sound waves? Show how the speed of
sound was calculated (but do not include data at this point). Try to use the third person
passive voice.
Results:
Graph the data. Fathom will work well here. Quantify the relationship. Use Fathom to
develop pan equation to describe the data. Obviously, submitting a scatter plot without
proposing a line or curve of best fit and an equation to describe it is less than a half job
done poorly. It wouldnt really tell you anything, would it? No.
Discussion:
Use the model you developed to describe the effect of temperature on the speed of
sound.
Why or how does air temperature affect the speed of sound waves?
Appendix:
You also found the speed of sound using the resonant lengths method you will have
found three or four resonant lengths for a certain frequency, found the wavelength of the
wave, and then found the speed of sound. How does that method work? How does it rely
on the characteristics of sound waves? Show how the speed of sound was calculated.
How does that value compare with the value derived by the clap-echo method on the
same day?
