Analysis
Use the data that you have recorded to sketch the wave activity along the length of your tube
with the piston in the position furthest from the speaker. How do the successive piston posi-
tions that produced a standing wave relate to this sketch? Is the apparent spacings of nodes and
antinodes consistent with the wavelength of your sound waves as calculated from λ
= V/
ν ,
where
V
= speed of sound?
