3D30.21 - Resonance Horns - Conical Pipes

Code Number:
3D30.21
Demo Title:
Resonance Horns - Conical Pipes
Condition:
Excellent
Principle:
Resonance Cavities
Area of Study:
Resonance
Equipment:
Resonance Horns with matching tuning forks.
Procedure:

The resonance horns are stamped with the frequencies that can be matched to the corresponding tuning fork.  The whole point is that the resonance horn should isolate and resonate at the fundamental frequency of the matching tuning fork.
