Chapter 17: Q. 15 (page 483)

FIGURE EX17.15 shows a standing sound wave in an 80-cm-long tube. The tube is filled with an unknown gas. What is the speed of sound in this gas?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The speed of sound in the gas is400m/s.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

A standing sound wave in an 80-cm-long tube is shown below

02

Speed of sound in gas

At the ends of the tube, the gas molecules exhibit maximum displacement, resulting in antinodes at the ends.

There is another antinode in the middle of the tube.

Thus, this is the m=2mode and the wavelength of the standing wave is equal to the length of the tube, that is, 位=0.80m

The relation between wavelength, frequency, and speed of the wave is given by v=f位.

Substitute the given values

v=500脳0.80=400m/s

Therefore, the speed of sound in the gas is400m/s.

The 40-cm-long tube of FIGURE P17.54 has a 40-cm-long insert

that can be pulled in and out. A vibrating tuning fork is held next to the

tube. As the insert is slowly pulled out, the sound from the tuning fork

creates standing waves in the tube when the total length L is 42.5 cm, 56.7 cm, and 70.9 cm. What is the frequency of the tuning fork? Assume vsound = 343 m/s.

A particularly beautiful note reaching your ear from a rare Stradivarius violin has a wavelength of 39.1 cm. The room is slightly warm, so the speed of sound is 344 m/s. If the string鈥檚 linear density is 0.600 g/m and the tension is 150 N, how long is the vibrating section of the violin string?

A steel wire is used to stretch the spring of FIGURE P17.42. An oscillating magnetic field drives the steel wire back and forth. A standing wave with three antinodes is created when the spring is stretched 8.0 cm. What stretch of the spring produces a standing wave with two antinodes?

A heavy piece of hanging sculpture is suspended by a 90-cmlong, 5.0 g steel wire. When the wind blows hard, the wire hums at its fundamental frequency of 80 Hz. What is the mass of the sculpture?

Two loudspeakers emit sound waves of the same frequency along the x-axis. The amplitude of each wave is a. The sound intensity is minimum when speaker 2 is 10 cm behind speaker 1. The intensity increases as speaker 2 is moved forward and first reaches maximum, with amplitude 2a, when it is 30 cm in front of speaker 1. What is

a. The wavelength of the sound?

b. The phase difference between the two loudspeakers?

c. The amplitude of the sound (as a multiple of a) if the speakers

are placed side by side?
