Important Setup Notes:
This demonstration requires a supply of compressed air - usually provided by the [:RedWhiteGasCart: red and white gas carts].
Setup and Procedure:
- Place the base on a tabletop.
Attach the air hose to the compressed air output on the [:RedWhiteGasCart:red and white gas cart].
- Insert the tube end of each organ pipe into the base so that the vents face the audience.
- To sound the tubes, open the compressed air out valve.
- The frequencies can be tuned by sliding the wooden panels near the vents.
Cautions, Warnings, or Safety Concerns:
- Make sure you are using compressed air and NOT methane gas which is highly flammable.
Discussion: Sound waves obey the principle of superposition. When two sound (pressure) waves encounter one another, they interfere. Spatially, the resultant wave has alternating spots of constructive and destructive interference. The frequency at which these occur in time at each location is called the beat frequency. The frequency depends on the respective frequencies of the interfering waves as follows
fbeat = |f1 - f2|
