jenawashere Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 So I need help because I originally had a EE topic that I recently discovered wouldn't work out so I have now been scrambling to come up with a new one.My new basic topic is: The effect of temperature on sound waves.But I need help refining this because I'm not sure where to go from here.Any help would be really appreciated, particularly if:- You have finished a physics EE and have advice- You have knowledge on sound waves and their variables- You have any other ideas for a new direction for this topic- Any related research you know of- etc.Thank you!

Car_06 Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 I am currently working on my Physics EE about how a material has an influence on the specific heat capacity? About your experiment:I think it that it is a good topic to write on but i am not sure how will you do this in the form of an experiment. Sound waves are longitudinal waves, and are also mechanical waves. Longitudinal waves travel faster in denser substances because the more tightly packed the object, the more easily the particles can hit each other. By changing the temperature, this changes how fast the particles are moving. At higher temperature, the particles are more far apart (sound is slower). At lower temperature, the particles are more dense (sound is faster) You can probably do an experiment with different water temperatures and then create a sound wave and you should have some device that would be able to measure the temperature and the wave of the sound. Hope this helps you. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello, I am currently doing a similar EE topic, did you manage to find any information on it? Can I please view your finished extended essay if that is okay with you? If not thats fine too I just need some support. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
