- If the tension in a string were increased by a factor of four, by what factor would the wave speed of a wave on the string increase?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_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 antinodes for this mode of vibration.arrow_forward
- A string has a length of 1.5 m, a linear mass density =0.008 kg/m, , and a tension of 120 N. If the air temperature is T=22C , what should the length of a pipe open at both ends for it to have the same frequency for the n=3 mode?arrow_forwardA string is fixed at both end. The mass of the string is 0.0090 kg and the length is 3.00 m. The string is under a tension of 200.00 N. The string is driven by a variable frequency source to produce standing waves on the string. Find the wavelengths and frequency of the first four modes of standing waves.arrow_forwardShow that the speed of sound in 20.0°C air is 343 m/s, as claimed in the text.arrow_forward

(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_forwardCheck Your Understanding Describe how amplitude is related to the loudness of a sound.arrow_forwardIf a wind instrument, such as a tuba, has a fundamental frequency of 32.0 Hz, what are its first three overtones? It is closed at one end. (The overtones of a real tuba are more complex than this example, because it is a tapered tube.)arrow_forward
- What are the first three overtones of a bassoon that has a fundamental frequency of 90.0 Hz? It is open at both ends. (The overtones of a real bassoon are more complex than this example, because its double reed makes it act more like a tube closed at one end.)arrow_forward(II) A particular organ pipe can resonate at 264 Hz, 440 Hz, and 616 Hz, but not at any other frequencies in between. (a) Show why this is an open or a closed pipe.
