In this experiment, we have claimed to measure the speed ofsound in air. To do this, we have used an audible frequency sweep.Why can we claim that the speed of sound will be the same over thebandwidth of the sweep? Is this assertion justified based on yourresults from experiment 2? Hint: Consider how sound (longitudinalpressure waves) propagate in a medium. (5 pts)
