Acoustic Resonance in School Hallways

ORAL

Abstract

This paper takes the theory of acoustic standing waves for air columns and applies it to school hallways. By utilizing an audio generator and power amplifier/speaker the authors set up an experiment in a school hallway and studied the resonant patterns created for a range of driving frequencies. Data describing the various mode structures are presented.
