Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of acoustics, and in particular relates to a visual sound wave interference phenomenon demonstrator. Background Art

[0002] Regarding the phenomenon of sound wave interference, in previous textbooks, it was suggested that the teacher strike a tuning fork, ask students to walk around the tuning fork and observe the changes in the intensity of the sound to demonstrate the interference phenomenon of sound. The frequency of the tuning fork usually used in the laboratory is 440Hz. Calculated based on the speed of sound of 340m / s, the wavelength of the wave λ=v / f≈0.773m. The distance between the two forks (i.e., two identical wave sources) is 0.02m, which is about 0.02λ. From theoretical calculations, it can be seen that only one reinforcement zone will be formed on the perpendicular midline of the line connecting the two forks, and there is no weakening zone around the other two tuning forks. Although the frequencies of the two wave sources are the same, due to the limitation of the distance between the two forks and the small sound of the tuning fork, the experiment will not achieve the expected effect. In actual operation, there are some changes in the intensity of the sound. The reason is that the tuning fork has different amplitudes in different directions, which is not caused by interference.

[0003] Some textbooks use two loudspeakers on the playground as coherent wave sources, and use the example of loud sound in some places and soft sound in other places to illustrate the interference phenomenon of sound waves. In actual operation, the phenomenon is not obvious, and it is not easy to operate in classroom teaching, and it does not have the characteristics of visualization.

[0004] Other traditional sound wavelength measurement equipment is complex and cumbersome to operate, and is not suitable for classroom teaching in primary and secondary schools.

[0005] Therefore, at present, there is no visual sound wave interference demonstration experimental equipment in primary and secondary schools in China. The interference phenomenon of waves is only analyzed theoretically during teaching. Students lack intuitive feelings, which is not conducive to their deep understanding and mastery of knowledge. Utility Model Content

[0006] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a visual acoustic wave interference phenomenon demonstrator.

[0007] This application uses the "Frequency Sound Generator" applet on a smartphone to drive Bluetooth sound. Sound waves propagate along two paths inside the pipe. They are coherent waves with the same pace and frequency, and interference occurs in the pipe. In the vibration attenuation area, the air pressure will be different due to the different attenuation amplitudes at each point. The foam particles at the location with low pressure will protrude upward to form multiple "foam walls". They "dance" together, which looks very shocking. The changes in the intensity of the sound in the interference are cleverly converted into the vibration and stillness of the foam particles, perfectly realizing the visualization of the sound wave interference phenomenon.

[0008] According to the principle of wave interference, the distance between adjacent strengthening points or weakening points is twice the wavelength. This demonstration instrument can measure the wavelength of sound waves by measuring the center distance of adjacent "foam walls". The visual sound wave interference demonstrator is a supplement and expansion of experimental teaching in physics textbooks. It helps students further understand the interference phenomenon of sound waves.

[0009] The technical solution of this application is:

[0010] A visual acoustic interference phenomenon demonstrator, characterized in that it comprises a transparent acoustic interference cavity, a three-way unit, a sound source controller and a sound source; wherein,

[0011] The transparent acoustic wave interference cavity is provided with the three-way unit, which is used to place the sound source into the transparent acoustic wave interference cavity through the three-way unit;

[0012] The sound source controller is used to control the sound source to generate a sound wave signal;

[0013] The transparent acoustic wave interference cavity is filled with foam, which is used to form a foam wall when the acoustic wave signal propagates in the transparent acoustic wave interference cavity and interferes.

[0014] Furthermore, the transparent acoustic wave interference cavity is a cylindrical cavity formed by connecting multiple sections of transparent tubes via adapters.

[0015] Furthermore, a scale area is provided on the transparent acoustic wave interference cavity for calculating the distance between adjacent foam walls.

[0016] Furthermore, the sound source is a Bluetooth speaker; and the sound source controller is a smart phone.

[0017] The advantages of the utility model are as follows:

[0018] (1) The interference phenomenon of sound is cleverly displayed by the jumping and stillness of foam particles, realizing the visualization of the experimental phenomenon.

[0019] (2) Use the interference principle to conveniently and quickly measure the wavelength of sound waves, allowing students to experience that exploration and innovation are the source of scientific and technological progress.

[0020] (3) Use mini-programs and Bluetooth speakers on smartphones to adjust sound frequency conveniently, quickly, and accurately.

[0021] (4) The experimental phenomenon is obvious, the performance is stable, the operation is simple, and the instrument is easy to make. Students are happy to accept and understand it. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
