Description
We teach a little modern physics in Phy 202; one topic we cover is the Heisenberg Uncertainty principle. To demonstrate the Heisenberg Uncertainty principle, we put the sound of a tuning fork through different filtering window sizes then we get the resulting spectrum. The result shows that reducing the uncertainty in time will increase the uncertainty in the frequency in accord with the Heisenberg uncertainty principle.
