Sources of error:

 Inaccurate measurement in lengths

 Error in apparatus where the sensor may have not accurately measured the

harmonies

 Non-constant temperature leading to a change in experimental conditions

The oscilloscope is usually used as a tool to measure voltage. In our case, it was

measuring the pressure. Therefore, a maximum on the screen of the oscilloscope reflects

a pressure antinode, and a displacement node, so a maximum of pressure but 0

displacement. And same goes for the minima observed, these reflect pressure nodes and

displacement antinodes (maximum displacement).
