An oscilloscope is used to demonstrate the characteristics of an audio generator. The signal from the audio generator is then combined with the sound from a tuning fork to demonstrate the phenomenon of beats. Finally, the sound from the vibrating prongs of a digging fork is demonstrated.
Equipment:
- Large screen oscilloscope
- Microphone and sound amplifier
- Audio signal generator
- Tuning fork
- Four-pronged digging fork
