Kundt's Tube Apparatus
Product Code : JA-SW-9419
The Kundt's Tube Apparatus (SKU JA-SW-9419) is a resonance tube set for studying sound and waves, standing waves, resonance, musical instruments and tones, and it needs only a signal generator to run. This Kundt's tube apparatus with microphone and speaker has an 850 mm transparent resonance tube with a metric scale, two side holes with sliding shutters and an adjustable piston; a mini speaker at one end produces the sound and a miniature microphone passed along the tube locates the maximum and minimum sound levels, best displayed on an oscilloscope.
Specifications
The set comprises an 850 mm transparent resonance tube with metric scale, two side holes with sliding shutters, an adjustable piston, a miniature microphone that passes along the tube, a mini speaker for one end, a driver to interface the speaker to an amplifier or oscilloscope, and an instruction booklet.

Experiments with the Kundt's tube apparatus
With a known frequency from the signal generator, students locate the nodes and antinodes of the standing wave with the microphone, measure their spacing on the scale and calculate the wavelength and the speed of sound in air.
- Standing waves and resonance in an air column
- Locating nodes and antinodes with the travelling microphone
- Determining the speed of sound in air
- Effect of open side holes and piston position, as in wind instruments

Frequently asked questions
What else is needed to run the apparatus?
Only a signal generator is required; an oscilloscope is ideal for finding the maximum and minimum sound levels.
How long is the resonance tube?
It is a transparent tube 850 mm long with a metric scale.
How are nodes located?
A miniature microphone is passed up the tube to find where the sound level is at a maximum and a minimum.
