• Propagation of sound in air
• Propagation of sound in solid bodies
• Propagation of sound in water
• Sound as a sine wave*
• Sound and noise*
• Lower and upper hearing threshold*
• Directional hearing*
• Beat frequency*
• Measurement of sound velocity*
• Bone conduction
• Noise level traffic light*
• Scales and intervals
• Fundamental, overtone, and tone colour*

With set 2, 8 additional experiments can be performed:

• Harmonic oscillation
• Visualisation of the oscillations of a tuning fork
• Reflection and echo*
• Standing waves*
• Resonance*
• Determination of an unknown frequency (beats)*
• Reflection and absorption of sound*
• Doppler effect*

* Software-based experiments 

Topics

• Generation, propagation and perception of sound
