A violin string 15.0 c³¾long and fixed at both ends oscillates in its n=1mode. The speed of waves on the string is 250″¾/²õ, and the speed of sound in air is 348″¾/²õ.

What are the (a) frequency and (b) wavelength of the emitted sound wave?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The frequency of the emitted wave is833.3Hz
  2. The wavelength of the emitted wave is0.418m

Step by step solution

01

Identification of given data

  1. Speed of wave on the string,v=250″¾/²õ
  2. n=1
  3. Speed of sound in air,va=348″¾/²õ
  4. Length of the violin string,l=15 c³¾or0.15″¾

Significance of SHM

A periodic motion of a point down a straight line with acceleration always toward a fixed point in that line and a distance from that point proportional to that acceleration is known as a SHM. Here,n=1 is for the fundamental frequency. So, the length of the string is half the wavelength of the wave on the string. Again, using the direct formula of frequency, we obtain the frequency of the emitted wave.

Formulae:

The wavelength of fundamental frequency (n=1), λ=2l …(¾±)

The frequency of an oscillation,f=vλ …(¾±¾±)

The wavelength of an oscillation in air, λ=vaf …(¾±¾±¾±)

03

(a) Determining the frequency of the emitted wave

Wavelength on string for the fundamental frequency can be given using the equation (i) as:

λ=0.15″¾(2)=0.3m

Frequency of an oscillation using equation (ii) can be written as:

f=250″¾s0.3″¾=833.3Hz

Frequency of vibration of the string will be the same for the frequency of sound.

Hence, the frequency of the emitted wave is 833.3Hz

04

(b) Determining the wavelength of the emitted wave

Wavelength of the emitted wave in air medium using equation (iii) can be written as:

λ=348″¾s833.3 H³ú=0.418m

Hence, the value of the wavelength of the emitted wave is 0.418m

In figure, sound with a 4.40 cm wavelength travels rightward from a source and through a tube that consists of a straight portion and half-circle. Part of the sound wave travels through the half-circle and then rejoins the rest of the wave, which goes directly through the straight portion. This rejoining results in interference. What is the smallest radius rthat result in an intensity minimum at the detector?

At a distance of 10 k³¾, a100 H³úhorn, assumed to be an isotropic point source, is barely audible. At what distance would it begin to cause pain?

A girl is sitting near the open window of a train that is moving at a velocity of 10.00m/sto the east. The girl’s uncle stands near the tracks and watches the train move away. The locomotive whistle emits sound at frequency 500.0Hz. The air is still. (a) What frequency does the uncle hear? (b) What frequency does the girl hear? A wind begins to blow from the east at 10.00m/s. (c) What frequency does the uncle now hear? (d) What frequency does the girl now hear?

A sound wave in a fluid medium is reflected at a barrier so that a standing wave is formed. The distance between nodes is 3.8cm, and the speed of propagation is1500m/s. Find the frequency of the sound wave.

In Figure, Sis a small loudspeaker driven by an audio oscillator with a frequency that is varied from1000 H³ú to 2000 H³ú, andDis a cylindrical pipe with two open ends and a length of45.7cm. The speed of sound in the air-filled pipe is344m/s. (a) At how many frequencies does the sound from the loudspeaker set up resonance in the pipe? What are the (b) lowest and (c) second lowest frequencies at which resonance occurs?
