The purpose of this lab was to observe the phenomenon of resonance in an open ended cylindrical tube and use resonance to determine the velocity of sound in air at regular temperatures. A hypothesis for this lab was that if the frequency of the tuning fork increased, then the length of the tube to achieve resonance will increase because of the high amplitude of the vibration. The resonance of the open-closed tube was found through these steps. First, the tube was filled with water with an inner tube inside the outer tube. The water temperature was measured.
CHAMPAGNE Champagne is the most famous sparkling wine which always seems to gesture special occasion and celebrations. Although bubbling wines beneath diverse designations abound all over the world, true champagne comes exclusively from the Champagne region of France. The majority of countries bend over to this custom by calling their sparkling wines using other names like spumante - Italy, Sekt - Germany and vin mousseux in other regions of France that are not the Champagne region.
