Using music to teach physics
Downloadable Content
Abstract
- The analysis and synthesis of tones produced by acoustic musical instruments is used as a tool for teaching physics to students majoring in disciplines other than the sciences. A series of laboratory exercises, based on sound analysis and synthesis software running on microcomputer-based workstations, is described and placed in context with more traditional physics laboratory experiences and written assignments in a one-semester course in the physics of musical sound taught without advanced mathematics. Student reaction to the exercises is discussed.
