Measuring Music

By Imagine Learning - Twig (middle years+)From BoclipsOctober 6, 2025

We use a sounding board called a sonometer to investigate how the pitch of sound changes when the length of wire being plucked changes. We change the position of a moveable bridge to change the length of the wire and discover that different notes are mathematically related.

Physics - Waves - Learning Points.
The notes of a standard musical scale have a mathematical relationship based on exact ratios.
