Teen Physics Playground: Sound Waves
Thursday 9 July from 12:30pm to 1:30pm
What does sound look like, and how do we experience it?
Test your own range of hearing, experiment with pitch and spatial awareness, and explore concepts such as rhythm, harmony, echoes, the Doppler effect, interference patterns and how instruments produce sound.
Along the way, discover how scientists measure the speed of sound and how data can be translated into sound to reveal patterns.
