Sonometer
Product Code : EL-PLE-16357
Eduscope India is a leading Sonometer
Description:
The Sonometer is an apparatus used for exploring the wave properties of vibrating strings.
It includes two mounts to install strings of different linear densities. String length is varied by changing the position of a sliding bridge under the string.
String tension is varied by hanging masses from the lever attached to the end of the string.
To vibrate the strings, pluck them with a pick or use resonance by vibrating a tuning fork.
Use a sound sensor with SPARK Vue to measure the frequency of vibration.
String guide Make sure that the string is sitting in the string guide when applying tension to the string.
Bridge Slide the bridge along the ruler to vary the length of the string. Make sure to put the groove on the bridge onto the raised edge on the Sonometer. Use the indicator on the bridge to measure the length of the string.
Ruler Use the ruler with the bridges to measure the length of the string. The length of the string is defined as the distance between the string guide at the 0 cm mark and the indicator on the bridge.
Soundboard put the base of a tuning fork on the soundboard to resonate the strings.
Tensioning lever Hang masses from the lever to provide tension on the string. The lever applies a tension equal to five times (5×) the mass weight. The lever includes a spirit level to determine when the lever is level.
Adjustable foot Turn each foot as needed to make the Sonometer level.
Thumbscrews Use the thumbscrews to secure the lever end and peg end to the soundboard during assembly.
Included: Sonometer 2× Bridge, 2× Guitar pick, 4× 0.014-inch string, 4× 0.018-inch string
Required items: Large Slotted Mass Set Hang the masses from the levers to apply tension to the strings.
