Product Code : SCL-W-12393
The Sonometer Apparatus is a 3-wire physics laboratory instrument used for studying vibrating strings, pitch, frequency, length, tension, and mass per unit length. It is suitable for schools, colleges, physics laboratories, STEM programs, and students learning sound, waves, resonance, and string vibration through practical experiments.
Product Description
The School Equipments Sonometer Apparatus is listed as Sonometer (3-Wire Pattern), product code EL-W-11151. It is a classical sound and waves apparatus developed to investigate how the pitch of a vibrating string changes with length, tension, and thickness.
The apparatus consists of a wooden box with millimetre scales between fixed bridges over which wires are stretched. The fixed bridges are 720mm apart, and one wire can be fitted with a 100N Newton meter so that tension can be exerted and measured during experiments.
Key Features
- 3-wire pattern: Supports comparative string vibration experiments using different wire arrangements.
- 720mm bridge distance: Provides a defined experimental length between fixed bridges.
- Millimetre scale: Helps students measure vibrating string length during pitch and frequency studies.
- Wooden box construction: Provides a stable sound board for classroom practical work.
- 100N Newton meter compatibility: Allows measured tension to be applied to one wire.
- Sound and waves teaching: Demonstrates frequency versus length, tension, and mass per unit length.
- Reusable lab apparatus: Suitable for repeated school physics demonstrations when handled correctly.

- Newton meter, masses, tuning machines, or replacement strings
Applications / Uses
- Studying vibrating strings in school physics laboratories.
- Investigating frequency versus length of a stretched string.
- Investigating frequency versus tension using measured load or Newton meter readings.
- Comparing frequency versus mass per unit length using wires of different diameter.
- Supporting practical lessons in physics waves apparatus.

How to Use the Sonometer Apparatus
- Place the sonometer on a stable laboratory bench.
- Select the wire required for the experiment.
- Set the vibrating length by positioning the bridge under the wire.
- Apply the required tension using the suitable tensioning arrangement.
- Pluck or bow the wire gently to produce vibration.
- Change the length, tension, or wire thickness and compare the pitch.
- Record observations and relate them to frequency, tension, length, and mass per unit length.
Safety note: Do not overtighten wires or stand close to a highly tensioned wire. Use the apparatus under teacher supervision, and release tension gradually after the experiment.
Care & Maintenance
- Keep the wooden box dry and clean after each laboratory session.
- Store the wires without unnecessary tension.
- Replace damaged, rusted, or overstretched strings before use.
- Keep bridges, scales, and tensioning parts aligned and free from dust.
