Abstract

With a cell phone, a tape measure, a rosin and a vise, we can measure the speed of sound for steel, brass, aluminium and plastic. The values differ from the tabulated values by units of percent. In the laboratory, resonance measurements can be made in a metal sample several decimetres long, in a gas column and a liquid.
