Abstract
An experiment at undergraduate level, demonstrating the detection of heat waves with a minimum of instrumentation, is described. The characteristics of the photoacoustic signal-like thermal damping within the sample, the influence of the gas within the cell, the length of the cell and the modulation frequency dependence — can easily be shown.
