First to plot $c_1$,frequencies were found from the recorded data at various pressures. The frequencies and the sound speed are related by $f=\frac{c_1n}{2L}$ and solving for results in \[c_1=\frac{f2L}{n}\] where L=0.0495 meters and choose n=1.  Pressure data was taken from in torr and converted into temperatures in kelvin using a Maynard Table.   Temperatures were taken then from 1.3 K to 2.0 kelvin in .02 K temeperature steps then 2.0 to 2.18 Kelvin in .01 K temperature steps. Figure 6 shows the experimental $c_1$ vs T. In comparison to figure 3, it can be seen that the data matches very closely to the theoretical prediction of figure 3. What is reassuring is that even the at $T_{\lambda}\approx1.7$, the same "dent" is seen in the experimental graph of $c_1$ vs Temperature is in agreement with the theoretica plot of first sound in figure 3.  \subsection{Error in $c_1$ and Temperaure}
