A physicist plays the note A with a frequency of 440. Hz on a flute. The speed of sound in air is initially 343. m/s. After performing a sonata, the air inside the instrument is at a higher temperature and the speed of sound is 347. m/s. For the note A to remain at 440. Hz, the length of the flute should be increased or decreased by what amount in mm?

A bat emits a sound whose frequency is 83.2 kHz83.2 kHz. The speed of sound in air at 20.0o C is 343 m/s. However, the air temperature is 40.5o C, so the speed of sound is not 343 m/s. Assume that air behaves like an ideal gas, and find the wavelength of the sound.
A sound wave has a frequency of 632 Hz in air and a wavelength of 0.51 m. What is the temperature of the air? Assume the velocity of sound at 0°C is 331 m/s. Answer in units of °C.
Sound is detected when a sound wave causes the tympanic membrane (the ear drum) to vibrate. Typically, the diameter of this membrane is about 8.4 mm in humans. A) how much energy is delivered to the eardrum each second when someone whispers (20 dB) into your ear? B) to comprehend how sensitive the ear is to very small amounts of energy, calculate how fast a typical 2.0 mg mosquito would have to fly (in mm/s) to have this amount of kinetic energy.
