A vibrating tuning fork is held over a water column with one end closed and the other open. As the water level is allowed to fall, a loud sound is heard for water levels separated by 17 cm. If the speed of sound in air is 340 m/s, the frequency of the tuning fork is: O 58 Hz O 500 Hz O 1000 Hz O 2000 Hz O 5800 Hz

Consider a string of length 50 cm fixed at both ends. It is plucked or struck at t=5s. Assume the speed of sound is 343 m/s. The fundamental frequency is f1 = 34.3 rad/s A B с D f1 = 646 Hz f1 = 343 Hz f1 = 34.3 Hz
The higher frequency limit for human hearing is 23.9 kHz. If the air temperature is 12.2 °C, the corresponding wavelength (mm; millimeter) of the sound is:
The speed of sound in room temperature (20°C) air is 343 m/s; in room temperature helium, it is 1010 m/s. The fundamental frequency of an open-closed tube is 315 Hz when the tube is filled with air. What is the fundamental frequency if the air is replaced with helium?
A sound wave having a frequency of 266 Hz travels through air at 20 °C. The decibel level at a distance of 21.3 m from the source is measured to be 77.4 dB. What is the maximum displacement of air molecules at that location? Assume the density of air is 1.20 kg/m³ and that the source produces spherical wave fronts. Express the displacement as a number having the units of mirco meters. 1 micro meter = 1 x 10-6 m. For example, If your calculated answer were 1.873 x 10-7 m, your entry would be the number 0.187 7.13
