Biologists think that some spiders 鈥渢une鈥 strands of their web to give an enhanced response at frequencies corresponding to those at which desirable prey might struggle. Orb spider web silk has a typical diameter of 20 碌m, and spider silk has a density of 1300 kg/m3. To have a fundamental frequency at 100 Hz, to what tension must a spider adjust a 12-cm-long strand of silk?
FIGURE Q17.1 shows a standing wave oscillating on a string at frequency f0. a. What mode (m-value) is this? b. How many antinodes will there be if the frequency is doubled to 2f0?
A flutist assembles her flute in a room where the speed of
sound is 342 m/s. When she plays the note A, it is in perfect tune
with a 440 Hz tuning fork. After a few minutes, the air inside her
flute has warmed to where the speed of sound is 346 m/s.
a. How many beats per second will she hear if she now plays the
note A as the tuning fork is sounded?
Two loudspeakers in a room emit 686 Hz sound waves
along the x-axis.
a. If the speakers are in phase, what is the smallest distance between the speakers for which the interference of the sound
waves is maximum destructive?
b. If the speakers are out of phase, what is the smallest distance
between the speakers for which the interference of the sound
waves is maximum constructive?
If you take snapshots of a standing wave on a string, there are certain instants when the string is totally flat. What has happened to the energy of the wave at those instants?
