Development of Sound Reflection and Refraction Experiment Equipment
Physics Education, v57 n6 Article 065015 Nov 2022
The reflection and refraction of light are more familiar to students than the reflection and refraction of sound. Reflection and refraction that occur during the transmission of sound waves are common phenomena in everyday life but are often difficult to understand during actual learning. In this study, we developed a sound reflection and refraction test apparatus that can measure sound's reflection and refraction angles by injecting sound using a super directional speaker with excellent straightness. Consequently, moving the sound sensor made it possible to find a point with high sound pressure and measure the sound's reflection and refraction angles. Since this device is similar to the experimental device that measures the angle of reflection and refraction of light, it is expected to be able to phenomenologically compare and confirm the reflection and refraction paths of light and sound.
