Chapter 17: Q7. (page 483)

FIGURE EX17.7 shows a standing wave on a string that is oscillating at 100 Hz. a. How many antinodes will there be if the frequency is increased to 200 Hz? b. If the tension is increased by a factor of 4, at what frequency will the string continue to oscillate as a standing wave that looks like the one in the figure?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) 8

b) 200Hz

Step by step solution

01

Given information

A wave is oscillating with frequency 100Hz on a string fixed at both ends.

02

Part a:

Antinodes are inversely proportional to wavelength. So if we double the frequency, wavelength will be halved and so therefore antinodes will be doubled. i.e. 4脳2=8antinodes.

03

Part b:

We know that frequency is directly proportional to square root of tension.

So if we increase tension by 4 times, frequency has to be doubled i.e. 100Hz脳2=200Hz to keep the wave oscillating as it was initially.

If you take snapshots of a standing wave on a string, there are certain instants when the string is totally flat. What has happened to the energy of the wave at those instants?

A sheet of glass is coated with a 500-nm-thick layer of oil 1n = 1.422.

a. For what visible wavelengths of light do the reflected waves interfere constructively?

b. For what visible wavelengths of light do the reflected waves interfere destructively?

c. What is the color of reflected light? What is the color of transmitted light?

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?

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?

A trumpet player hears 5 beats per second when she plays a note and simultaneously sounds a 440 Hz tuning fork. After pulling her tuning valve out to slightly increase the length of her trumpet, she hears 3 beats per second against the tuning fork. Was her initial frequency 435 Hz or 445 Hz? Explain.
