Chapter 17: Q. 62 (page 486)

Two loudspeakers emit sound waves along the x-axis. A listener in front of both speakers hears a maximum sound intensity when speaker 2 is at the origin and speaker 1 is at x = 0.50 m. If speaker 1 is slowly moved forward, the sound intensity decreases and then increases, reaching another maximum when speaker 1 is at x = 0.90 m.

a. What is the frequency of the sound? Assume vsound = 340 m/s.

b. What is the phase difference between the speakers?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) The frequency of the sound is 850 Hz

b) The difference between the speakers are蟺/2

Step by step solution

01

Understanding the frequency of the sound 

The frequency of the sound is the number of occurrences of repertaing events per unit.

02

Understanding the frequency of the sound 

The two consecutive maxima are given with two consecutive positions in which the phase difference is 0. On the other hand, based on the provided information it is鈭�鈭�=2蟺鈭�x位

Thus, the distance between the consecutive maxima is similar to the wavelength, thus, the wavelength is, 位=0.9-0.5=0.4m

Thus, the frequency is f=v位=3400.4=850Hz

Since the maxima are at x=0.5 then the phase difference will be 0. The phase difference is coming from the position of the signal phase difference. In numerically,

鈭�鈭�=2蟺鈭�x位+鈭�鈭�0=0

Thus the difference is鈭�鈭�=-2蟺0.50.4=-5蟺2=-蟺2

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?

A flute player hears four beats per second when she compares her note to a 523 Hz tuning fork (the note C). She can match the frequency of the tuning fork by pulling out the 鈥渢uning joint鈥� to lengthen her flute slightly. What was her initial frequency?

Piano tuners tune pianos by listening to the beats between the

harmonics of two different strings. When properly tuned, the note

A should have a frequency of 440 Hz and the note E should be

at 659 Hz.

a. What is the frequency difference between the third harmonic

of the A and the second harmonic of the E?

b. A tuner first tunes the A string very precisely by matching it to

a 440 Hz tuning fork. She then strikes the A and E strings simultaneously

and listens for beats between the harmonics. What

beat frequency indicates that the E string is properly tuned?

c. The tuner starts with the tension in the E string a little low,

then tightens it. What is the frequency of the E string when

she hears four beats per second?

Tendons are, essentially, elastic cords stretched between two fixed ends. As such, they can support standing waves. A woman has a 20-cm-long Achilles tendon鈥攃onnecting the heel to a muscle in the calf鈥攚ith a cross-section area of 90 mm2.. The density of tendon tissue is 1100 kg/m3. For a reasonable tension of 500 N, what will be the fundamental frequency of her Achilles tendon?
