The factors to be considered while constructing a musical instrument such as a violin or a French horn, besides the length of the string or tube.
The difference between a quality instrument and a cheaper one and how they are tested for tone quality.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Each vibrating body has a waveform of its own.
Musical instruments have complex waveform.
While constructing a violin, besides the length of the string, the material used to construct it must be considered as it affects the quality of the instrument. Also, the way it is shaped and joined affects the quality of the violin. Similarly, for constructing a French horn, the material used and its shape is to be considered as they affect the sound quality.
The difference between a quality instrument and a cheaper one is the sound quality which is affected by the material of the instrument.
The tone quality of an instrument depends on its waveform, which varies with the number of harmonics, their frequency and their relative amplitude.
The harmonics of the instrument can be used to test its tone quality.
Conclusion:
While constructing a musical instrument, besides its length, the material used should be considered as it affects the quality of the instrument.
The difference between a quality instrument and a cheaper one is the sound quality, which is affected by the material of the instrument.
The harmonics of the instrument can be used to test its tone quality.

- Hi! I need help with these calculations for part i and part k for a physics Diffraction Lab. We used a slit width 0.4 mm to measure our pattern.arrow_forwardExamine the data and % error values in Data Table 3 where the angular displacement of the simple pendulum decreased but the mass of the pendulum bob and the length of the pendulum remained constant. Describe whether or not your data shows that the period of the pendulum depends on the angular displacement of the pendulum bob, to within a reasonable percent error.arrow_forwardIn addition to the anyalysis of the graph, show mathematically that the slope of that line is 2π/√g . Using the slope of your line calculate the value of g and compare it to 9.8.arrow_forward
- An object is placed 24.1 cm to the left of a diverging lens (f = -6.51 cm). A concave mirror (f= 14.8 cm) is placed 30.2 cm to the right of the lens to form an image of the first image formed by the lens. Find the final image distance, measured relative to the mirror. (b) Is the final image real or virtual? (c) Is the final image upright or inverted with respect to the original object?arrow_forwardConcept Simulation 26.4 provides the option of exploring the ray diagram that applies to this problem. The distance between an object and its image formed by a diverging lens is 5.90 cm. The focal length of the lens is -2.60 cm. Find (a) the image distance and (b) the object distance.arrow_forwardPls help ASAParrow_forward
