Suppose a low brass instrument, such as a tuba, has a fundamental frequency of 33.5 Hz. Such instruments act like resonance tubes which are closed at one end, although their resonant frequencies are complicated because they are smaller at the mouth piece and larger at the bell end. For this problem, you may assume the instrument is a simple tube. What is its first overtone, in hertz? What is its second overtone, in hertz? What is its third overtone, in hertz?

A dinosaur called Parasaurolophus is a dinosaur (looks like a dinosaur with a single horn) thathas a hollow horn crest on its head. The 1.5 m long hollow tub inside of this crest hadconnections to the throat, leading some paleontologists to guess that the tube was used as aresonant chamber in vocalization. If you model this system as an open-closed system, what arethe first three resonant frequencies at 85 degrees F?
You have an open-open pipe of adjustable length near a taut 60.0 cm, 5.0 gram guitar string which is under a tension of 300 N. You want to adjust the length of the tube so that when it produces a sound in its fundamental frequency, this sound is at the same frequency of the string’s vibration in its second harmonic. What should be the length of the pipe?
A "C" flute creates the note C4 when it is played at its resonance frequency, that is 261 Hz on the evenly tempered scale. Flute frequencies are changed by opening holes in its tube, creating a node at that hole and effectively shortening the 66 cm tube. The flute and the guitar make a good instrumental combination, and for that they must be tuned together. You have seen that a guitar's 6 strings are usually tuned to (E) 329.63 Hz E4 (B) 246.94 Hz B3 (G) 196.00 Hz G3 (D) 146.83 Hz D3 (A) 110.00 Hz A2 (E) 82.41 Hz E2 1. Is there a way to alter the frequency of the flute so that it matches one of these open strings at resonance? Explain your answer. 2. Given the length of its tube and the frequency of the flute sound, what is the speed of sound in air it has been made for? 3. At what temperature would the air be in °C to give this speed? What is that in °F? 4. At this temperature, what is the most probable speed of a nitrogen molecule in m/s?
There is some instrument that is a long, hollow, coiled metal tube. The length of the tube is 2.6 m long and playing the instruments gives frequencies of 196 Hz and 261 Hz. Is it reasonable to model this instrument as being open at one end and closed at the other? Why or why not? Please justify the answer using physics concepts and/or calculations.
Problem 2: On a violin, the string with the smallest linear density (0.00042 kg/m) is the E5 string. The string produces a fundamental frequency (n = 1) of 659.3 Hz and has a length of 0.32 m between the two fixed ends. What is the tension in the string?
If a wind instrument, such as a tuba, has a fundamental frequency of 90.0 Hz, what are its first three overtones (in Hz)? It is closed at one end. (The overtones of a real tuba are more complex than this example, because it is a tapered tube.) first overtone Hzsecond overtone Hzthird overtone Hz
A 0.717 gram guitar string is 0.629 m long. The string is under a tension of 73.9 N.(a) What are the fundamental frequency and the third harmonics frequency? (b)What are their wavelengths?
You are designing an organ pipe that you wish to sound out an "A" note on the musical scale, which has a frequency of 440 Hz. The pipe will be open at both ends. What must the length of your pipe be in order for its "fundamental" tone to be an "A" at 440 Hz? Hint: first determine the wavelength of the sound wave in the pipe; then the frequency is related to this wavelength and to the speed of sound, which you can take to be 330 m/s in air at room temperature. What will be the frequency of the first overtone of this pipe? (Hint: it is an "A" as well!)
