Chapter 17: Q. 21 (page 483)

A longitudinal standing wave can be created in a long, thin aluminum rod by stroking the rod with very dry fingers. This is often done as a physics demonstration, creating a high-pitched, very annoying whine. From a wave perspective, the standing wave is equivalent to a sound standing wave in an open-open tube. As FIGURE EX17.21 shows, both ends of the rod are antinodes. What is the fundamental frequency of a 2.0-m-long aluminum rod?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The fundamental frequency of a 2.0-m-long aluminum rod is,1605Hz.

Step by step solution

01

Given data

Length of the aluminum rod is, L=2m

Both ends of the rod are antinodes. So, the rod is vibrating in the fundamental mode.

Consider speed of sound in aluminum is,v=6420m/s

02

Determination of frequency

For fundamental mode, the wavelength of sound wave can ne written as, 位1=2L

Therefore, the frequency of the longitudinal standing wave is,

f=v位1鈬�f=6420m/s2L鈬�f=6420m/s2脳2m鈬�f=1605Hz

FIGURE Q17.3 shows the displacement of a standing sound wave in a 32-cm-long horizontal tube of air open at both ends. a. What mode (m-value) is this? b. Are the air molecules moving horizontally or vertically? Explain. c. At what distances from the left end of the tube do the molecules oscillate with maximum amplitude? d. At what distances from the left end of the tube does the air pressure oscillate with maximum amplitude?

A string vibrates at its third-harmonic frequency. The amplitude at a point 30 cm from one end is half the maximum amplitude. How long is the string?

In a laboratory experiment, one end of a horizontal string is tied

to a support while the other end passes over a frictionless pulley

and is tied to a 1.5 kg sphere. Students determine the frequencies

of standing waves on the horizontal segment of the string, then

they raise a beaker of water until the hanging 1.5 kg sphere is

completely submerged. The frequency of the fifth harmonic with

the sphere submerged exactly matches the frequency of the third

harmonic before the sphere was submerged. What is the diameter

of the sphere?

A trumpet player hears 5 beats per second when she plays a note and simultaneously sounds a 440 Hz tuning fork. After pulling her tuning valve out to slightly increase the length of her trumpet, she hears 3 beats per second against the tuning fork. Was her initial frequency 435 Hz or 445 Hz? Explain.

When mass M is tied to the bottom of a long, thin wire suspended

from the ceiling, the wire鈥檚 second-harmonic frequency is

200 Hz. Adding an additional 1.0 kg to the hanging mass increases

the second-harmonic frequency to 245 Hz. What is M?
