can, by being drawn out, be alteredat will. The vibrations are sent to two independent gas jets,after having travelled different dis-tances, and a third gas jet enablesone to see the effect of compound-ing the two sets of waves. Themanometric capsules are insertedbetween the gas jets and the tubes.… … Fig. 29. XIV. VELOCITY OF SOUND IN AIR. The velocity with which sound is propagated through anymedium will evidently depend on the elasticity and density ofthis medium, and theoretically it may be calculated from theformula V where E is the coefficient of elasticity and D the density. In solids E…
