Overview
The objective of this project is to become familiar with:
- Acoustic Waves
- Continue to work in the same groups
Project
- Overview of how to do the project:
- You will need two files for this project
- The simulation will show the propagation of the pulse down a line as illustrated below
Fig. 01
- NOTE: Instructions for the experiment in the video are included in the maatlab script, in the questions of the script
- The video shows a pvc pipe with an acoustic pulse bouncing back and forth in the air inside the tube (blue circle below)

FIg. 03
- The script file is on the left (blue box above) and the output generated is on the right (magenta box above)
- Run the script by pressing the run button (magenta circle above)
- Read through the script and make any changes that are requested
- Save your file frequently
- Answer all questions by filling in the answers in the script such as:
