Hello. I was wondering if I could get help deciding a physics project/experiment.
What I have in mind is testing how temperature effects the frequency of sound.
I have a pretty cheap flute that I don't care too much about, so I don't really care if it gets damaged. My idea is that I put my flute in a cold area, maybe the refrigerator or something for a whole night and then the next day, I use a tuner that shows frequency to see how off I am from the actual note.
The problem is, I feel like this project might seem to predictable. I already know that an instrument gets flat when it's cold and it gets sharp when it's hot.
So, I have an issue here. I really want to do something pretty straight forward and I want it to involve instruments. But it seems like all the physics projects involving instruments are difficult/abstract. I am only in regular physics, so I know the bare minimum when it comes to physics.
Is my idea good or should I think of a new idea? Help is greatly appreciated!!!
