Chapter 17: Q3. (page 455)

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?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) This is 2nd Harmonic wave, (m = 2)

b) Air molecules are moving vertically

c) x = 0, 16 and 32

d) x = 8 and 24

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

A snapshot of a standing sound wave over the distance of 32cm.

02

Part a)

This is a 2nd Harmonic wave (m value = 2).

03

Part b)

Particles of the wave move vertically as in transverse waves particles move in the direction perpendicular to the direction of wave. (Sound waves are transverse waves)

04

Part c)

At distances 0cm, 16cm, and 32cm, molecules will oscillate at maximum amplitude.

05

Part d)

Air pressure is maximum at nodes of the sound wave, therefore air pressure will oscillate with maximum amplitude at x = 8cm and x = 24cm.

You are standing 2.5 m directly in front of one of the two loudspeakers shown in FIGURE P17.68. They are 3.0 m apart and both are playing a 686 Hz tone in phase. As you begin to walk directly away from the speaker, at what distances from the speaker do you hear a minimum sound intensity? The room temperature is 20掳C.

Two in-phase loudspeakers, which emit sound in all directions,

are sitting side by side. One of them is moved sideways by 3.0 m, then forward by 4.0 m. Afterward, constructive interference is

observed 14and 34of the distance between the speakers along the line that joins them. What is the maximum possible wavelength of the sound waves?

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?

FIGURE EX17.2 is a snapshot graph at t = 0 s of two waves approaching each other at 1.0 m/s. Draw six snapshot graphs, stacked vertically, showing the string at 1 s intervals from t = 1 s to t = 6 s.

A particularly beautiful note reaching your ear from a rare Stradivarius violin has a wavelength of 39.1 cm. The room is slightly warm, so the speed of sound is 344 m/s. If the string鈥檚 linear density is 0.600 g/m and the tension is 150 N, how long is the vibrating section of the violin string?
