Music sounds good as long as we get the physics right.
Get it just a little bit out, and it sounds awful. So what is the physics? Harmonics and wavelengths,
pitch and frequencies, all become clear with some water, some tubes and some rubber bands. Students will
explore the physics behind wind and string instruments, and the human voice, with simple experiments.
And to really annoy those around, we'll have a look at percussion as well! |
