What length should an oboe have to produce a fundamental frequency of 110 Hz on a day when the speed of sound is 343 m/s? It is open at both ends.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The length of the tube is 1.56 m.

Step by step solution

01

Given Data

The fundamental frequency is110 Hz.

The speed of the sound is v = 343 ms/s.

02

Calculation of the length of the tube 

The resonance frequencies of a tube open at both the ends are,

\({{\rm{f}}_{\rm{n}}}{\rm{ = n}}\frac{{\rm{v}}}{{{\rm{2l}}}}{\rm{,}}\;{\rm{n = 1,2,}}\;{\rm{3,}}\;...\)

The fundamental frequency is

\(\begin{aligned}{\rm{110 = }}\frac{{{\rm{343}}}}{{{\rm{2l}}}}\\{\rm{l = }}\frac{{{\rm{343}}}}{{{\rm{2 \times 110}}}}\\{\rm{ = 1}}{\rm{.56}}\;{\rm{m}}{\rm{.}}\end{aligned}\)

Hence, the length of the tube is 1.56 m

that many AC electrical appliances produce 60 Hz, music is commonly

The ear canal resonates like a tube closed at one end. (SeeFigure\(17.39\).) If ear canals range in length from\(1.80\)to\(2.60\;{\rm{cm}}\)in an averagepopulation, what is the range of fundamental resonant frequencies? Takeair temperature to be\(37.0{\rm{^\circ C}}\), which is the same as body temperature.How does this result correlate with the intensity versus frequency graph(Figure\(17.37\)of the human ear?

If a woman needs an amplification of \({\rm{5 \times 1}}{{\rm{0}}^{{\rm{12}}}}{\rm{ W}} \cdot {{\rm{m}}^{{\rm{ - 2}}}}\) times the threshold intensity to enable her to hear at all frequencies, what is her overall hearing loss in dB? Note that smaller amplification is appropriate for more intense sounds to avoid further damage to her hearing from levels above\({\rm{90 dB}}\).
