When the sound is detected in to the computer by the microphone, the computer will display a graph which will show the wave pattern of the sound that was just produced. Find the frequency of the wave by finding the reciprocal of the period. Find the period of the wave by determining the time of the wave from crest to crest. Test the flute from the synthesizer. Record the data in the data table.
Repeat steps seven and eight for the flute, clarinet, violin, and the handmade harp.
With the collected data, find out which instruments have greater frequency and amplitude, and better wave forms by conparing the two sets of instruments.
