A tuning fork generates sound waves with a frequency of 230 Hz. The waves travel in opposite directions along a hallway, are reflected by walls, and return. The hallway is 40.0 m long and the tuning fork is located 14.0 m from one end. What is the phase difference between the reflected waves when they meet at the tuning fork? The speed of sound in air is 343 m/s.

Seiche

A seiche is an oscillating standing wave in a body of water. The term seiche pronounced saysh) can be understood by the sloshing of water back and forth in a swimming pool. The same phenomenon happens on a much larger scale in vast bodies of water including bays and lakes. A seizure can happen in any enclosed or semi-enclosed body of water.

Question

100%

A tuning fork generates sound waves with a frequency of 230 Hz. The waves

Earthquakes generate sound waves inside Earth. Unlike a gas, Earth can experience both transverse (S) and longitudinal (P) sound waves. Typically, the speed of S waves is about 4.79 km/s, and that of P waves 7.51 km/s. A seismograph records P and S waves from an earthquake. The first P waves arrive 3.52 min before the first S waves. If the waves travel in a straightline, how far away does the earthquake occur? Number i Units
