Code Number: 3C30.30

Demo Title: Oscilloscope, Wave Generator, and Speaker

Condition: Excellent

Principle: AC Frequency and Amplitude

Area of Study: Oscillations - Acoustics

Equipment:

Oscilloscope, Wave Generator, Speaker ( optional ), Camera

Procedure:

Connect the wave generator to channel one of the oscilloscope. If desired, you and also use the speaker so that you can hear the changes as you adjust the frequency and amplitude on the wave generator.
