Sonometer
Product Code : JC-SL-4730
The sonometer (SKU JC-SL-4730) is a hollow sounding box with two holes, along which a string is stretched and tied. Plucking the string or placing a vibrating tuning fork on the box lets students study the modes of vibration of the stretched string and how its frequency depends on length and tension.
