Figure 17-43 shows four tubes with lengths 1.0 m or 2.0 m, with one or two open ends as drawn. The third harmonic is set up in each tube, and some of the sound that escapes from them is detected by detector D, which moves directly away from the tubes. In terms of the speed of sound v, what speed must the detector have such that the detected frequency of the sound from (a) tube 1, (b) tube 2, (c) tube 3, and (d) tube 4 is equal to the tube’s fundamental frequency?

Calculate the displacement amplitude of the wave at a frequency of 10.0 kHz.arrow_forwardSome studies suggest that the upper frequency limit of hearing is determined by the diameter of the eardrum. The wavelength of the sound wave and the diameter of the eardrum are approximately equal at this upper limit.

- A sound wave arriving at your ear is transferred to the fluid in the cochlea. If the intensity in the fluid is 0.430 times that in air and the frequency is the same as for the wave in air, what will be the ratio of the pressure amplitude of the wave in air to that in the fluid? Approximate the fluid as having the same values of density and speed of sound as water. Speed of sound in dry air (20.0°C, 1.00 atm) is 343 m/s, density of dry air (at STP) is 1.29 kg/m3, density of water is 1000 kg/m3, and speed of sound in water is 1493 m/s. Numeric Response: ______arrow_forwardThe intensity of a sound source is described by an inverse-square law only if the source is very small (a point source) and only if the waves can travel unimpeded in all directions. For an extended source or in a situation where obstacles absorb or reflect the waves, the intensity at distance r can often be expressed as I = cPsource/r, where c is a constant and the exponent î, which would be 2 for an ideal spherical wave, depends on the situation. In one such situation, you use a sound meter to measure the sound intensity level at different distances from a source, acquiring the following data: Distance, r (m) 1 3 10 30 100 Intensity level, ß (dB) 100 93 85 78 70 Part A You want to determine the exponent a for this sound source by graphing the data. Select the appropriate variables to graph on each axis that will produce a straight- line graph with either a slope or intercept that will allow you to determine x.
