Principle and task
Sound waves are radiated into a liquid by an ultrasonic transmitter and detected with a piezoelectric transducer. The wavelength of the sound is found by comparing the phase of the
detector signal for different sound paths and, when the frequency is known, the velocity of sound as a function of the
temperature of the liquid is determined.

Problems
The wavelength is found from the phase position of the sound
pickup signal relative to the generator signal as a function of
the sound path and the velocity of the sound is determined
when the ultrasonic frequency is known. The measurement is
made for water and glycerol as the temperatures of the liquids
are changed step-by-step.

Note
The liquid in the region of the acoustic field is heated up by
ultrasonic absorption. The measurements should therefore be
made with as small a sound amplitude as possible. Attention
is also to be paid to thorough mixing of the bath.
