Calculate the displacement amplitude of the wave at a frequency of 10.0 kHz.arrow_forwardTwo sinusoidal waves are moving through a medium in the same direction, both having amplitudes of 3.00 cm, a wavelength of 5.20 m, and a period of 6.52 s, but one has a phase shift of an angle . What is the phase shift if the resultant wave has an amplitude of 5.00 cm? [Hint: Use the trig identity sinu+sinv=2sin(u+v2)cos(uv2)arrow_forwardA cable with a linear density of =0.2 kg/m is hung from telephone poles. The tension in the cable is 500.00 N. The distance between poles is 20 meters. The wind blows across the line, causing the cable resonate. A standing waves pattern is produced that has 4.5 wavelengths between the two poles. The air temperature is T=20C . What are the frequency and wavelength of the hum?arrow_forward

What is the length of the pipe if the pipe is a. closed at one end and b. open at both ends?arrow_forwardThe overall length of a piccolo is 32.0 cm. The resonating air column is open at both ends. (a) Find the frequency of the lowest note a piccolo can sound. (b) Opening holes in the side of a piccolo effectively shortens the length of the resonant column. Assume the highest note a piccolo can sound is 4 000 Hz. Find the distance between adjacent anti-nodes for this mode of vibration.arrow_forwardA string with a mass of 0.30 kg has a length of 4.00 m.

Find the speed of sound in water and compare your answer with the value given in Table 17.1.arrow_forwardA string has a mass of 150 g and a length of 3.4 m. One end of the string is fixed to a lab stand and the other is attached to a spring with a spring constant of ks=100 N/m. The free end of the spring is attached to another lab pole. The tension in the string is maintained by the spring. The lab poles are separated by a distance that stretches the spring 2.00 cm. The string is plucked and a pulse travels along the string.
