Chapter 17: Q51P (page 509)

The A string of a violin is a little too tightly stretched. Beats at 4.00 per second are heard when the string is sounded together with a tuning fork that is oscillating accurately at concert A (440Hz).What is the period of the violin string oscillation?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The period of the violin string oscillation is2.25脳10-3s.

Step by step solution

01

The given data

  1. Frequency of the violin, f2 = 440Hz
  2. Beat frequency is, f = 4beats/s.
02

Understanding the concept of frequency

We can find the frequency of the violin using the formula for beat frequency. Then using the relation between period and frequency, we can find the period of the violin string oscillation.

Formula:

The period of an oscillation,

T=1f 鈥�(1)

03

Calculation of the period of string oscillation

From the above given data,

Beat frequency is expressed as,

f=f1-f2

Substitute all the value in the above equation.

4beats/s = f1-440Hz

f1 = 444Hz

Now, the period of the violin string oscillation is given using equation (1) as:

role="math" localid="1661424941161" T=1444Hz=0.005525s=2.25脳10-3s

Hence, the value of period is 2.25脳10-3s.

A tuning fork of unknown frequency makes 3.00 beats per second with a standard fork of frequency 384Hz. The beat frequency decreases when a small piece of wax is put on a prong of the first fork. What is the frequency of this fork?

Question: Figure 17-28 shows a moving sound source S that emits at a certain

frequency, and four stationary sound detectors. Rank the detectors

according to the frequency of the sound they detect from the

source, greatest first.

Question: When the door of the Chapel of the mausoleum in Hamilton, Scotland, is slammed shut, the last echo heard by someone standing just inside the door reportedly comes 15 slater. a) If that echo were due to a single reflection off a wall opposite the door, how far from the door is the wall? (b) If, instead, the wall is 25.5 maway, how many reflection (back and forth) correspond to the last echo?

A jet plane passes over you at a height of 5000鈥尘and a speed of Mach 1.5.

(a) Find the Mach cone angle (the sound speed is 331鈥尘/s).

(b) How long after the jet passes directly overhead does the shock wave reach you?

200鈥塳尘On July 10, 1996, a granite block broke away from a wall in Yosemite Valley and, as it began to slide down the wall, was launched into projectile motion. Seismic waves produced by its impact with the ground triggered seismographs as far away as200鈥塳尘. Later measurements indicated that the block had a mass between7.3脳107鈥塳驳and1.7脳108鈥塳驳and that it landedvertically below the launch point and30鈥尘horizontally from it.

(The launch angle is not known.)

(a) Estimate the block鈥檚 kinetic energy just before it landed.

Consider two types of seismic waves that spread from the impact point鈥攁 hemispherical body wave traveled through the ground in an expanding hemisphere and a cylindrical surface wave traveled along the ground in an expanding shallow vertical cylinder (Fig. 17-49). Assume that the impact lasted, the vertical cylinder had a depth d of5.0鈥尘, and each wave type received 20% of the energy the block had just before impact. Neglecting any mechanical energy loss the waves experienced as they traveled, determine the intensities of (b) the body wave and

(c) the surface wave when they reach the seismograph200鈥塳尘away.

(d) On the basis of these results, Which wave is more easily detected on a distant seismograph?
