CloudLabs Sound Waves
Read full descriptionHide full description
This simulator recreates a music room with three tuning forks, a soundboard, a sound sensor, and an oscilloscope. The objective of the practice is to determine the frequency of the sound emitted by each tuning fork and the musical note to which it belongs. For its development, it is necessary to use the concepts of frequency, wavelength and propagation time.
