A flutist assembles her flute (open-open tube) in a room where the speed of sound is 342 m/s. When she plays the note A (fundamental frequency), it is in perfect tune with a 440 Hz tuning fork. After a few minutes, the air inside her flute has warmed to where the speed of sound is 343 m/s. a. How many beats per second will she hear if she plays the note A as the tuning fork is sounded? b. Determine the length of the vibrating section of the flute when the speed of sound is 342 m/s. c. How far does she need to extend the "tuning joint" of her flute to be in tune with the tuning fork when the speed of sound is 343 m/s?

Biologists think some spiders “tune” strands of their web to give enhanced response at frequencies corresponding to those at which prey might struggle. Orb spider silk has a typical diameter of 20 µm, and spider silk has a density of 1300 kg/m3. To have a fundamental frequency at 100 Hz, to what tension must a spider adjust a 12 cm long strand of silk?
A standing wave with wavelength A = 1.2 m and frequency f = 50 Hz is generated on a stretched cord. For an element of the cord at x = 0.5 m, the maximum transverse velocity is v(y,max) = 21t m/s. The amplitude A of each of the individual waves producing the standing wave is: O 0.02 m O 0.03 m 0.025 m 0.01 m O 0.0125 m
A 38.0-Hz sound wave is barely audible at a sound intensity level of 60.0 dB. The density of air at 20.0°C is 1.20 kg/m3. Speed of sound in air at 20.0°C is 343 m/s. What is the displacement amplitude of a 38.0-Hz sound wave? What is the ratio of the displacement amplitude to the average distance between molecules in air at room temperature, about 3.00 nm?

A 40-cm-long tube has a 40-cm-long insert that can be pulled in and out. A vibrating tuning fork is held next to the tube. As the insert is slowly pulled out, the sound from the tuning fork creates standing waves in the tube when the total length LL is 42.5 cm , 58.0 cm , and 73.5 cm. What is the frequency of the tuning fork? Assume vsoundvsound = 343 m/s
A standing wave with wavelength A = 1.2 m and frequency f = 80 Hz is generated on a stretched cord. For an element of the cord at x = 0.5 m, the maximum transverse velocity is v(y,max) = 2Tt m/s.
