Stretched string

A stretched string is a wire which is made up of any metal that must have a larger length compared to its thickness. The ends of the wire are fixed, and when they oscillate or are plucked, it produces two reflected transverse waves of the same frequency …

A flutist assembles her flute in a room where the speed of sound is 342 m/s. When she plays the note A, it is in perfect tune with a 440 Hz tuning fork. After a few minutes, the air inside her flute has warmed to where the speed of sound is 346 m/s.a. How many beats per second will she hear if she now plays the note A as the tuning fork is sounded?b. How far does she need to extend the “tuning joint” of her flute to be in tune with the tuning fork?

A clarinet is 66.0cm long. A flute is nearly the same length, with 63.6cm between the hole the player blows across and the end of the flute. Take the speed of sound in warm air to be 350 m/s. a. Is a clarinet an open-open tube or an open-closed tube? What about the flute? b. What are the frequencies of the lowest note and the next higher harmonic on a flute? f₁ = 275 Hz, f₂ = 550 Hz c. What are the frequencies of the lowest note and the next higher harmonic on a clarinet? Ligature Mouthpiece f₁ = 133 Hz, f₂ = 399 Hz Reed -Attachment screw Single reed

A 38.0-Hz sound wave is barely audible at a sound intensity level of 60.0 dB. The density of air at 20.0°C is 1.20 kg/m3. Speed of sound in air at 20.0°C is 343 m/s. What is the displacement amplitude of a 38.0-Hz sound wave? What is the ratio of the displacement amplitude to the average distance between molecules in air at room temperature, about 3.00 nm?
