SOUND

by Marian E. Baer ‧ RELEASE DATE: April 30, 1952

This is subtitled ""An Experiment Book"" and is an addition to Holiday's Easy Science series. Marian Baer has done a better job than in her ""Experiments Without Fire"" by keeping her explanations and references specific and clear of vague generalizations that can throw causality into doubt. Step by step experiments are arranged so that one leads to another and divided into parts which deal with the properties of sound-vibration, frequency, reverberation, resonance and so forth. There are clear, efficient organization, careful diagrams and always the use of simple, easily obtainable experiment equipment- a rubber hose closed at one end and tapped will tap a candle flame the same way our ear drums are moved by other vibrations; you, tapping a swing at the right moment, are in sympathetic vibration with it. Good conducive class room material with a book that should get used after class hours too.
