Laboratory Manual - The Science of Sound (Fiore)
( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)
The goal of this work is to support the lab portion of a general college physics course that focuses on sound, acoustics and audio. It covers a variety of topics including speed of sound, resonance, loudness, basic electricity (in association with loudspeakers and microphones) and the human voice.
