    The document describes an experiment to investigate the effect of temperature on the speed of sound. The experiment uses three graduated cylinders filled with water at different temperatures: room temperature, hot, and cold. A tuning fork is sounded over each cylinder and observations are made about the loudness, pitch, and speed of the sound. The results show that warmer water produces louder and higher pitched sounds, indicating a higher speed and frequency of sound, while colder water has lower speed and frequency. Therefore, the document concludes that the speed of sound is directly related to the temperature of the medium - higher temperatures yield higher speeds.

    EFFECT OF TEMPERATURE TO THE SPEED OF SOUND


    Materials:
    Materials:
    ●3 graduated cylinders
    ●tuning fork
    ●rubber mallet
    ●thermometer
    ●hot and cold water
    ●water at room temperature

    Procedure:
    1. Label the 3 graduated with room temperature, hot and cold respectively.
    2. Pour 50 ml of water at room temperature in the graduated cylinder.
    3. Sound the tuning fork by striking it into the rubber.
    4. Hold it on top of the graduated cylinder
    Q1: Did you hear a sound?

    5. Next, fill in the 2 remaining graduated cylinders with hot and cold water respectively. Take note of the temperature in
    each of the graduated cylinders you sound the tuning fork.
    Q2: What are the temperatures of each labeled graduated cylinder?

    6. Sound the tuning fork place it on top of each cylinder. Take note of your observations.
    Q3: Which cylinder produced the loudest sound?

    Q4: Which cylinder produced the highest pitch sound?

    Q5: If a pitch is directly dependent on frequency, which cylinder produced the highest frequency?

    Q6: Which cylinder produced the fastest sound?

    Q7: How would you relate the temperature of the medium with the speed of sound?
