Experiment illustrates improved methods for measuring speed of sound and heat-capacity ratios in gases, suggesting a simpler approach.
An experiment which is familiar to most physical chemistry students is the speed of sound based on the Kundt’s tube. The experiment also allows the student to determine the heat-capacity ratio for various gases. The process of changing gases may be more easily accomplished if the microphone in the tube can be fixed in its position relative to the speaker. In this article, this modification to the experiment is discussed in terms of resonance generated in closed pipes.
