This software contains two models:
The Fundamental Frequency Of A String Or Wire Under Tension
This software calculates the Fundamental Frequency of a string or wire under tension and plays a tone at that frequency. It is designed to support the teaching of Science and Physics at GCSE and A Level.
The model takes into account the density of the material.
The following parameters can be varied within the model:
- Length of the string or wire;
- Diameter of the string or wire;
- Tension the string or wire is under.
The volume and mass of the string or wire are calculated as well as the Fundamental Frequency.
Parameters can be adjusted and the materials list modified to the user’s specification. These new settings can be saved in a file for later use.
The results are calculated in real time as the parameters are changed, and can be printed.
A tone can be played at the currently calculated Fundamental Frequency if it is within the system boundaries.
The Fundamental Frequency Of A Gas Filled Tube Or Pipe
This software calculates the Fundamental Frequency of a gas filled tube or pipe and plays a tone at that frequency. It is designed to support the teaching of Science and Physics at GCSE and A Level.
The model takes into account the Heat Capacity Ratio and the Molecular Mass of the gas.
The following parameters can be varied within the model:
- Length of the tube or pipe;
- Temperature within the tube or pipe;
- Whether or not the tube or pipe has one end closed.
The speed of sound is calculated as well as the Fundamental Frequency.
Parameters can be adjusted and the gases list modified to the user’s specification. These new settings can be saved in a file for later use.
The results are calculated in real time as the parameters are changed, and can be printed.
A tone can be played at the currently calculated Fundamental Frequency if it is within the system boundaries.
The application is supported by a comprehensive help file.
