Chapter 17: Q9. (page 483)

Standing waves on a 1.0-m-long string that is fixed at both ends are seen at successive frequencies of 36 Hz and 48 Hz. a. What are the fundamental frequency and the wave speed? b. Draw the standing-wave pattern when the string oscillates at 48 Hz.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) 12Hz, 24m/s

b) Standing wave pattern will be a fourth harmonic over a length of 1m.

Step by step solution

01

Given parameters

Length of string: 1m

Successive frequencies: 36Hz, 48Hz

02

Part a:

Fundamental frequency = 48Hz - 36Hz = 12Hz

Solving for wave speed:

f1=谓2L谓=f1脳2L谓=12脳2谓=24m/s

03

Part b:

When string oscillates at 48Hz, It will be fourth harmonic.

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?

Noise-canceling headphones are an application of destructive

interference. Each side of the headphones uses a microphone to

pick up noise, delays it slightly, then rebroadcasts the noise next

to your ear where it can interfere with the incoming sound wave

of the noise. Suppose you are sitting 1.8 m from an annoying,

110 Hz buzzing sound. What is the minimum headphone delay, in

ms, that will cancel this noise?

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?

A steel wire is used to stretch the spring of FIGURE P17.42. An oscillating magnetic field drives the steel wire back and forth. A standing wave with three antinodes is created when the spring is stretched 8.0 cm. What stretch of the spring produces a standing wave with two antinodes?

A flutist assembles her flute in a room where the speed of

sound is 342 m/s. When she plays the note A, it is in perfect tune

with a 440 Hz tuning fork. After a few minutes, the air inside her

flute has warmed to where the speed of sound is 346 m/s.

a. How many beats per second will she hear if she now plays the

note A as the tuning fork is sounded?
