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.

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?

A heavy piece of hanging sculpture is suspended by a 90-cmlong, 5.0 g steel wire. When the wind blows hard, the wire hums at its fundamental frequency of 80 Hz. What is the mass of the sculpture?

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?

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鈥檚 speed?

In 1866, the German scientist Adolph Kundt developed a

technique for accurately measuring the speed of sound in various gases. A long glass tube, known today as a Kundt鈥檚 tube, has a vibrating piston at one end and is closed at the other. Very finely ground particles of cork are sprinkled in the bottom of the tube before the piston is inserted. As the vibrating piston is slowly moved forward, there are a few positions that cause the cork particles to collect in small, regularly spaced piles along the bottom. FIGURE P17.53 shows an experiment in which the tube is filled with pure oxygen and the piston is driven at 400 Hz. What is the speed of sound in oxygen?
