Resumo: When a stretched metal spring is hit sideways, a whistler is produced. The whistler is a sound effect that has become part of today's culture due to its popularity as the sound of a "laser gun" in the movie Star Wars. The whistler occurs due to sound dispersion in the metal, but the revision of High School textbooks and University education shows that a discussion of this phenomenon is not present. We present an experimental activity that can be conducted in High School, in order to detect the whistler and analyze it with a sound editing program.  The graphical analysis allowed us to approximately determine that the frequency of propagating sound and its time detection are inversely related.

O sibilo ocorre devido à dispersão do som em um metal, mas a revisão de obras didáticas de ensino médio e superior mostra que a discussão desse fenômeno não está presente. Apresentamos uma atividade experimental possível de ser conduzida no ensino médio, a fim de detectar o sibilo e analisá-lo em um programa de edição de som. A análise gráfica permitiu determinar, de forma aproximada, que há uma relação inversamente proporcional entre a frequência do som que se propaga na mola e o tempo de detecção.Imprensa Universitária - UFSC2014-03-14info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/fisica/article/view/2175-7941.2014v31n2p38510.5007/2175-7941.2014v31n2p385Caderno Brasileiro de Ensino de Física; v. 31 n. 2 (2014); 385-3992175-79411677-2334reponame:Caderno Brasileiro de Ensino de Física (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCporhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/fisica/article/view/2175-7941.2014v31n2p385/27323Ribeiro, Jair Lúcio Pradosinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2018-03-16T10:22:41Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/30092Revistahttp://www.periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/fisicaPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/fisica/oaicbefisica@gmail.com||fscccef@fsc.ufsc.br|| cbefisica@gmail.com2175-79411677-2334opendoar:2018-03-16T10:22:41Caderno Brasileiro de Ensino de Física (Online) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)false
