Acoustics Physics resonance tongue drums The purpose of this experiment was to test and improve the sound quality of tongue drums. In this experiment two different tongue drums were tested to find the frequency of the tongues compared to the resonances of their respective cavities. In preliminary testing the frequency of each tongue was found, then the modes of frequency were found for the dimensions of the box. In order to lengthen the duration of the tone emitted by a given tongue, a hollow tube with an adjustable slide was inserted into the side of the box. After testing a variety of lengths the long tongue with a constant frequency of 279.3 Hz on the large drum was amplified by changing the length of the drum to 0.61 m for resonant frequency. In order to continue testing ways to find the resonant frequency for different tongue drums, a computer simulation was created to model the experiment. The simulation could be used in the lab to model data. In addition, it could be used in a classroom setting to allow students to test and analyze tongue drums. 2015-08-25 English text Ohio University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ohiou1428423607 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ohiou1428423607 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
