In the diagram below, you have a spring (with a spring constant k = 23 N/m) that is attached to a subwoofer speaker (with a mass of 5 kg). Assume the speaker can oscillate back and forth and the room’s temperature is 32º C. As a result, it produces a sound wave that has an amplitude of 0.7 m with a frequency of 450 Hz. What is the wavelength of the lowest frequency as heard by the person?
Interference of sound
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.
