Chapter 2: Q16DQ (page 497)

If you stretch a rubber band and pluck it, you hear a (somewhat) musical tone. How does the frequency of this tone change as you stretch the rubber band further? (Try it!) Does this agree with Eq. (15.35) for a string fixed at both ends? Explain.

Short Answer

Expert verified

When the rubber band is stretched, the frequency of the tone produced will increases.

Step by step solution

01

Concept of frequency of a tone.

The length of the rubber band and the tension that is created inside of it determine the frequency of the tone. The frequency varies as a result of the rubber band being stretched.

02

Formula of frequency of the string.

If we stretch the string then its length increases and the tension in the spring also increase. The frequency of the tone depends upon both tension and length of the rubber band which can be represented by the expression given below,

f=12LF渭

Here, f is the frequency of the wave, L is the length of a rubber band, F is the tension in the rubber band. 渭 is the mass per unit length.

Therefore, when the rubber band is stretched, the frequency of the tone produced will increases.

Question:A submerged scuba diver hears the sound of a boat horn directly above her on the surface of the lake. At the same time, a friend on dry land 22.0 m from the boat also hears the horn (Fig. E16.7). The horn is 1.2 m above the surface of the water. What is the distance (labeled 鈥�?鈥�) from the horn to the diver? Both air and water are at 20掳 C.

A uniform 165-Nbar is supported horizontally by two identical wires A and B (Fig. P16.62). A small 185-N cube of lead is placed three fourths of the way from A to B. The wires are each 75.0 cm long and have a mass of 5.50 g. If both of them are simultaneously plucked at the centre, what is the frequency of the beats that they will produce when vibrating in their fundamental?

Consider a sound wave in air that has displacement amplitude 0.0200 mm. Calculate the pressure amplitude for frequencies of (a) 150 Hz; (b) 1500 Hz; (c) 15,000 Hz. In each case compare the result to the pain threshold, which is 30 Pa.

Two strings of different mass per unit length 渭1and 渭2are tied together and stretched with a tension F. A wave travels along the string and passes the discontinuity in 渭. Which of the following wave properties will be the same on both sides of the discontinuity, and which will change: speed of the wave; frequency; wavelength? Explain the physical reasoning behind each answer.

With what tension must a rope with length 2.50 m and mass 0.120 kg be stretched for transverse waves of frequency 40.0 Hz to have a wavelength of 0.750 m?
