Innovative Approach to Physics Experiments: Low-Cost Apparatus for Measuring the Speed of Sound and its Dependency on Temperature

Disha Boorela, Dr. Roohi Banu Pokhali

Abstract: This research paper introduces an innovative paradigm for cost-effective and high-resolution physics experimentation, tackling the constraints associated with traditional methods that often rely on bespoke and expensive lab equipment, predominantly found in well-funded private schools. Our study delves into the application of commercially available off-the-shelf (COTS) materials for physics experiments, specifically emphasizing the measurement of the speed of sound and its correlation with temperature.
