Two loudspeakers emit 400 Hz notes. One speaker sits on the
ground. The other speaker is in the back of a pickup truck. You
hear eight beats per second as the truck drives away from you.
What is the truck’s speed?
Scientists are testing a transparent material whose index of refraction for visible light varies with wavelength as n = 30.0 nm1/2 /l1/2, where l is in nm. If a 295-nm-thick coating is placed on glass 1n = 1.502 for what visible wavelengths will the reflected light have maximum constructive interference?
Western music uses a musical scale with equal temperament tuning, which means that any two adjacent notes have the same frequency ratio r. That is, notes n and n + 1 are related by fn+1 = r fn for all n. In this system, the frequency doubles every 12notes—an interval called an octave.
a. What is the value of r?
b. Orchestras tune to the note A, which has a frequency of440 Hz. What is the frequency of the next note of the scale (called A-sharp)?
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?

Two out-of-phase radio antennas at x = 300 m on the x-axis are emitting 3.0 MHz radio waves. Is the point (x, y) = (300 m, 800 m) a point of maximum constructive interference, maximum destructive interference, or something in between
