When played in a certain manner, the lowest resonant frequency of a certain violin string is concert A (440 Hz). What is the frequency of the (a) second and (b) third harmonic of the string?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. Frequency of second harmonic is 880 Hz
  2. Frequency of third harmonic is 1320 Hz

Step by step solution

01

Given data 

Lowest frequency isf1=440Hz

02

Understanding the concept of fundamental frequency

We have to usetheformula for nth harmonic frequency which is n timesthefundamental frequency.

Formula:

The frequency of oscillation of n-loops, fn=n×v2L........1

03

Step 3(a): Calculation for second harmonic frequency

The lowest frequency is given. It means that the first harmonic frequency is 440 Hz , and using equation (1) and the frequency, it is given as:

440=v2L......2

Now the second harmonic frequency using equations (1) and (2) is given as follows:

role="math" localid="1660993667219" f2=2×v2L=2×440=880Hz

Hence, the value of second-harmonic frequency is 880 Hz

04

Step 4(b): Calculation of third harmonic frequency

Third harmonic using equations (1) and (2) is given as follows:

f3=3×v2L=3×440=1320Hz

Hence, the value of third-harmonic frequency is 1320 Hz

For a particular transverse standing wave on a long string, one of an antinodes is at x = 0and an adjacent node is at x = 0.10 m. The displacement y(t)of the string particle at x = 0is shown in Fig.16-40, where the scale of y theaxis is set by ys=4.0cm. When t = 0.50 s, What is the displacement of the string particle at (a) x = 0.20 mand x = 0.30 m (b) x = 0.30 m? What is the transverse velocity of the string particle at x = 0.20 mat (c) t = 0.50 sand (d) t = 0.1 s ? (e) Sketch the standing wave atfor the range x = 0to x = 0.40 m.

A wave has a speed of 240 m/s and a wavelength of 3.2 m . What are the (a) frequency and (b) period of the wave?

A sand scorpion can detect the motion of a nearby beetle (its prey) by the waves the motion sends along the sand surface (Figure). The waves are of two types: transverse waves traveling at vt=50m/sand longitudinal waves traveling at vt=50m/s. If a sudden motion sends out such waves, a scorpion can tell the distance of the beetle from the difference localid="1657274843608" tin the arrival times of the waves at its leg nearest the beetle. If localid="1661230422984" ∆t=4.0ms, what is the beetle’s distance?
