5 In Fig. 17-27, pipe A is made to oscillate in its third harmonic by a small internal sound source. Sound emitted at the right end happens to resonate four nearby pipes, each with only one open end (they are not drawn to scale). Pipe B oscillates in its lowest harmonic, pipe C in its second lowest harmonic, pipe D in its third lowest harmonic, and pipe E in its fourth lowest harmonic. Without computation, rank all five pipes according to their length, greatest first. (Hint: Draw the standing waves to scale and then draw the pipes to scale.) Figure 17-27 Question 5.

Consider a room of dimensions 8 m × 6 m × 4 m (high), the absorption coefficient for the floor is 0.02, for the walls 0.04, and 0.15 for the ceiling. An omni-directional sound source with a sound power of 0.038 W is located in the room centre. Calculate: (i) the steady reverberant sound pressure level; (ii) the room radius (i.e., the distance from the source at which the direct and reverberant sound pressure levels are equal).

A sound wave traveling through water must vibrate approximately 1000 times more mass than one traveling through air, Calculate the ratio of the vibration amplitude of sound in air and that in water, assuming equal frequency and energy of vibration.
4) An organ pipe is open at one end and closed at the other. The pipe is designed to produce the note middle C (262 Hz). (a) How long is the pipe? (b) What is the frequency of the third harmonic? (c) How many nodes of the third harmonic are found inside the pipe? Do not count nodes that may be at the ends of the pipe. (Assume speed of sound is 343 m/s).
Approximately a third of people with normal hearing have ears that continuously emit a low-intensity sound outward through the ear canal. A person with such spontaneous otoacoustic emission is rarely aware of the sound, except perhaps in a noisefree environment, but occasionally the emission is loud enough to be heard by someone else nearby. In one observation, the sound wave had a frequency of 1665 Hz and a pressure amplitude of 1.13 *10-3 Pa. What were (a) the displacement amplitude and (b) the intensity of the wave emitted by the ear?
What is the frequency of the 4th overtone of the clarinet (open-closed pipe)? Assume T = 290 K, and L = 4.18 m. Hint: even values of n are not applicable. Answer in Hz, and round to the nearest integer. The following characteristics of air might be useful: gamma = 1.4, molar mass = 32 g/mole, density = 1.029 kg/m3.
