In music, two notes are said to be an octave apart when one note is exactly twice the frequency of the other. Suppose you have a guitar string playing frequency f0. To increase the frequency by an octave, to 2f0, by what factor would you have to (a) increase the tension or (b) decrease the length?
FIGURE EX17.6 shows a standing wave on a 2.0-m-long string that has been fixed at both ends and tightened until the wave speed is 40 m/s. What is the frequency?

A 2.0-m-long string vibrates at its second-harmonic frequency with a maximum amplitude of 2.0 cm. One end of the string is at x = 0 cm. Find the oscillation amplitude at x = 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 cm.
FIGURE EX17.28 shows the circular wave fronts emitted by two
wave sources.
a. Are these sources in phase or out of phase? Explain.
b. Make a table with rows labeled P, Q, and R and columns
labeled and C/D. Fill in the table for points P, Q,
and R, giving the distances as multiples of l and indicating,
with a C or a D, whether the interference at that point is
constructive or destructive.

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?
