Physics IA

This document contains data from an experiment measuring the length of an air-filled tube at different frequencies. It includes the frequency, measured length of the tube over 5 trials, the average length, calculated speed of sound, and uncertainty. Graphs are presented showing relationships between frequency and length/wavelength of the tube. The data and graphs indicate that as frequency increases, length/wavelength decreases, in line with the inverse relationship between frequency and wavelength defined by the wave equation.
