Chapter 13, Problem 47P
Orchestra instruments are commonly tuned to match an A-note played by the principal oboe. The Baltimore Symphony Orchestra tunes to an A-note at 440 Hz while the Boston Symphony Orchestra tunes to 442 Hz. If the speed of sound is constant at 343 m/s, find the magnitude of difference between the wavelengths of these two different A-notes.

An instrument has a lowest frequency of 40 Hz. The string has mass per unit length of 0.015 kg/m. Calculate the tension in the string.
Biologists think some spiders “tune” strands of their web to give enhanced response at frequencies corresponding to those at which prey might struggle. Orb spider silk has a typical diameter of 20 µm, and spider silk has a density of 1300 kg/m3. To have a fundamental frequency at 100 Hz, to what tension must a spider adjust a 12 cm long strand of silk?
A physics professor demonstrates the Doppler effect by tying a 450 HzHz sound generator to a 1.0-mm-long rope and whirling it around her head in a horizontal circle at 100 rpm. What is the difference between the highest frequency heard by a student in the classroom and the initial frequency of the sound generator?
