Abstract. Photoacoustic
spectroscopy was applied to demonstrate musical notes within a gas cell and to
create harmony. The adequate sensory demonstration of the PA effect may be of
particular interest in chemistry and thermodynamic pedagogy. This demonstration
also allows students to find the relationship between music and science.
