I. Focus Question
How can different viscosity of liquids affect the quality and speed of
sound?
II. Objectives
If the liquid has higher viscosity then the quality of sound will be
reduced.
2 phones
Sound Meter
Source of sound
Cornstarch solution
Water
Plastic container
V. Procedures
We submerged the cell phone into the container with water and the
sound meter measured the intensity to be 36.0 dB which is more
intense than the cornstarch solution (34-35 dB). It is also said that
the higher the viscosity the liquid has, the slower sound travels. And
the cornstarch solution is more viscous than the water, therefore the
speed of sound travels slower. Although the intensity of the
cornstarch solution is supposed to be higher than the water, but
according to our data, the cornstarch solution’s intensity is lower
than the water. It is because of the temperature of the cornstarch
solution, as we dilute the cornstarch into the water, the temperature
gets higher. And it is said that the higher the temperature, the lower
the intensity, and that explains the intensity of the cornstarch
solution.
