H2-01: FOCUSING OF SOUND WITH CONCAVE REFLECTORS

ID Code: H2-01
Purpose: Demonstrate how sound waves can be focused by concave reflectors.
Description: Set the oscillator at about 3000 Hz for best results. Install speaker at the focus of one reflector and microphone at focus of second reflector; the oscilloscope views the microphone output. With the positions of all elements optimized the sound from the speaker reflects off its mirror to create a beam of sound, which is focused by the second mirror onto the microphone. All elements may be adjusted to verify the existence of foci.
