Rank the following situations according to the intensity of sound at the receiver from the highest to the lowest. Assume the tube walls absorb no sound energy. Give equal ranks to situations in which the intensity is equal. (a) From its original position, the sliding section is moved out by 0.1 m. (b) Next it slides out an additional 0.1 m. (c) It slides out still another 0.1 m. (d) It slides out 0.1 m more.arrow_forward
- A barrel organ is shown in Figure P18.38. Such organs are much smaller than traditional organs, allowing them to fit in smaller spaces and even allowing them to be portable. Use the photo to estimate the range in fundamental frequencies produced by the organ pipes in such an instrument. Assume the pipes are open at both ends. How does that range compare to a piano whose strings range in fundamental frequency from 21.7 Hz to 4186.0 Hz? FIGURE P18.38arrow_forwardA careless child accidentally drops a tuning fork vibrating at 450 Hz from a window of a high-rise building.

(c) Find the sound intensity of five trumpets at the location of the first row of an audience, 8.00 m away, assuming, for simplicity, the sound energy propagates uniformly in all directions. (d) Calculate the decibel level of the five trumpets in the first row. (e) If the trumpets are being played in an outdoor auditorium, how far away, in theory, can their combined sound be heard? (f) In practice such a sound could not be heard once the listener was 2-3 km away. Why cant the sound be heard at the distance found in part (e)?
