Sonometers
Product Code : SCL-PLE-12383
The JaincoLab sonometer (SKU SCL-PLE-12383) is used to investigate how the frequency of a vibrating wire depends on its length, its tension and its thickness. The wooden instrument measures 110 x 10 x 8.5 cm with a 60 cm resonance box and scale, and carries two 0.4 mm and one 0.8 mm steel wires with three movable bridges. Weights, a dynamometer and tuning forks of 512, 480 and 440 Hz complete the set for school and college practicals.
Specifications
The values below are taken from the product data. The weights are listed as 500 g + 6 x 500 g, and the tuning forks as 512, 480 and 440 Hz with a hammer.

Applications of the sonometer
Moving the bridges and changing the load lets students test each law of vibrating strings in turn. The sonometer is used for:
- Frequency against vibrating length at constant tension
- Frequency against tension using the weights and dynamometer
- Effect of wire thickness with the 0.4 mm and 0.8 mm wires
- Resonance with tuning forks of 512, 480 and 440 Hz
