Physics Education – Demonstrating Interference using a Datalogger

The following is a great example of using a data logger to do a physics experiment, which can be difficult to perform using conventional equipment. This experiment uses a sound sensor (microphone) connected to a data logger to perform an experiment traditionally done with an oscilloscope . Oscilloscopes can be difficult to set up and get the trigger function to work effectively. Many teachers struggle with this piece of equipment. A data logger can simplify the setup and provide a great way to take measurments.

 

This experiment was conducted using the Ezilog USB data logger.
