Wave Length and Frequencies With Quincke Tube: Experimental Report 2

The document reports on an experiment measuring the wavelength and frequencies of sound waves using a Quincke tube. Measurements were taken at frequencies between 2000Hz and 5000Hz. For each frequency, the distance between dark and bright bands (d1 and d2) was measured over three trials and averaged. The wavelength was calculated as twice the average distance. The frequency was then calculated using the measured wavelength and the known speed of sound in air. Uncertainties were also calculated for each wavelength and frequency measurement.
