Tuning Fork and Palm Pipe Lab

We used the tuning fork in class to be able to calculate the frequency. We hit the tuning fork on our shoe and then put it next to the microphone on the sound probe. The sound probe was used to get the frequency which was the highest bar on the graph. Then once we got frequency, we plugged the number into wolfram alpha to get the musical note for the tuning fork.

The Palm Pipe Lab got the musical note in a slightly different way. First, we measured the length/diameter of our palm pipe. Once we got the diameter and length, we plugged it into a formula to get the wavelength which is what we needed in order to get the frequency since we already had the speed of light, but not the wavelength. Once we finally plugged in the wavelength and got the frequency, we plugged in the frequency into wolfram alpha to get the musical note. We learned how to find the musical note of the pipe which helped us to play a song, but it didn't seem to go too well. 

Light and Optics Real World Connection

Here is an image of a chair that is reflected by the mirror on the door. The chair seems to be smaller in the reflection than in front of you. The chair has an angle of reflection which is between the normal line and  incident ray.
