You are fortunate enough to attend a recital of a master violinist playing a rare Stradivarius violin. You are told that the wavelength of this note is 39.1m. You happen to have your portable thermometer with you and note that the air temperature in the room is such that the speed of sound is 340 m/s. If the linear density of the string is 0.6g/m and the tension of the string is 150N, how long a section of the string is vibrating to produce the note?
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.
