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.

Traditional Indonesian music uses an ensemble called a gamelan that is based on tuned percussion instruments somewhat like gongs. In Bali, the gongs are often grouped in pairs that are slightly out of tune with each other. When both are played at once, the beat frequency lends a distinctive vibrating quality to the music. Suppose a pair of gongs are tuned to produce notes at 151 Hz and 155 Hz. How many beats are heard if the gongs are struck together and both ring for 2.5 s?

If you pour liquid into a tall, narrow glass, you may hear sound with a steadily rising pitch. What is the source of the sound? And why does the pitch rise as the glass fills?

A longitudinal standing wave can be created in a long, thin aluminum rod by stroking the rod with very dry fingers. This is often done as a physics demonstration, creating a high-pitched, very annoying whine. From a wave perspective, the standing wave is equivalent to a sound standing wave in an open-open tube. As FIGURE EX17.21 shows, both ends of the rod are antinodes. What is the fundamental frequency of a 2.0-m-long aluminum rod?

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?

Two radio antennas are separated by 2.0 m. Both broadcast

identical 750 MHz waves. If you walk around the antennas in a

circle of radius 10 m, how many maxima will you detect?
