<u>STEP ONE:</u>

Let  you and your friend stand as far away as possible from a large reflecting wall and clap your hands rapidly at a regular rate.  

<u>STEP TWO:</u>

Adjust this rate until each clap just coincides with the return of an echo of its predecessor, or until clap and echo are heard as equally spaced.

<u>STEP THREE:</u>

Use a stopwatch to find the time between claps, t. Make a rough measurement of distance to the wall, s. Thus the speed of sound, v = 2s/t

To do this, the time it takes a sound to travel a measured distance must be recorded. Either the distance must be large (preferably over 50 metres) or the time recorded on an electronic timer (to eliminate errors due to reaction time). You should be able to describe a method of measuring the speed of sound in air.

Which of the following is the same in all frames of reference?
Ksju [112]
The correct option is B.
The length of an object, the mass of an object and the rate of time passage for an object can change depending on the situation which the object is subject to. For instance in space, the mass and the velocity of an object usually change. But, the value of the speed of light in the space is the same for all observers regardless of the motion of an object, that is, the speed of light is a constant.<span />
