Abstract. Standing waves are a naturally arising phenomenon in many situations where sound waves propagate in an enclosed medium. Inspired by problem 17 from the International Young Naturalists Tournament (2021), this investigation aims to establish a relationship between the speed of sound in air as a function of air temperature at constant pressure and humidity. This goal is achieved by exploiting certain properties of standing sound waves in a tube, sealed off at one end. By varying the length of the tube and the temperature of the air inside, properties of the air, such as its molar mass, can also be determined.
