Interference of acoustic waves, stationary waves and diffraction at a slot with PC interface

Principle:
•  Two acoustic sources emit waves of the same frequency and if their distance is a multiple of the wavelength, an interference structure becomes apparent in the space where the waves are superimposed.
•  An acoustic wave impinges perpendicularly onto a reflector, the incident and the reflected wave are superimposed to a stationary wave. In case of reflection, a pressure antinode will always occur at the point of reflection.
•  An acoustic wave impinges on a sufficiently narrow slot, it is diffracted into the geometrical shadow spaces. The diffraction and the interference pattern occurring behind the slot can be explained by means of the Huygens-Fresnel principle and confirm the wave characteristics of sound.

Tasks:
1.   To measure the interference of acoustic waves.
2.   To analyze the reflection of acoustic waves - stationary waves.
3.   To measure the diffraction at a slot of acoustic waves.
