| Abstract: |
Discusses the development of stroboscopic holographic interferometry at an advanced undergraduate level allowing real-time imaging of standing sound waves in gas filled, closed tube resonators. The building of a heterodyne Mach-Zehnder interferometer to show the feasibility of interferometric detection of sound waves in a small cell; How the laser irradiance is modulated; Observations of fractional fringe shifts and sound reflections. |
