Re: speed of sound experiment

I did a variation on a speed of sound experiment tonight that I thought
I'd share. The basic experiment is to use a microphone and a CBL, MBL, or
memory oscilloscope to record the echoes of a short sound as it bounces
back and forth between the ends of a packing tube.

I'd really be interested in using such an experiment with my class.
Where can I find details on the set-up? Ant reason it couldn't be done
with lighter than air gases and an inverted tube?
