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.

The fundamental frequency of a pipe that is open at both ends is 524 Hz. (a) How long is this pipe? If one end is now closed, find (b) the wavelength and (c) the frequency of the new fundamental.

Two identical loudspeakers are located at points A and B, 2.00 m apart. The loudspeakers are driven by the same amplifier and produce sound waves with a frequency of 784 Hz. Take the speed of sound in air to be 344 m/s. A small microphone is moved out from point Balong a line perpendicular to the line connecting Aand B(line BC in Fig. P16.65). (a) At what distances from Bwill there be destructiveinterference? (b) At what distances from Bwill there be constructiveinterference? (c) If the frequency is made low enough, there will be no positions along the line BCat which destructive interference occurs. How low must the frequency be for this to be the case?

Singing in the Shower. A pipe closed at both ends can have standing waves inside of it, but you normally don鈥檛 hear them because little of the sound can get out. But you can hear them if you are inside the pipe, such as someone singing in the shower. (a) Show that the wavelengths of standing waves in a pipe of length L that is closed at both ends are 位0=2L/nand the frequencies are given by f0=nv4Lnf1, where n = 1, 2, 3, c.(b) Modelling it as a pipe, find the frequency of fundamental and the first two overtones for a shower 2.50 m tall. Are these frequencies audible?

A loud factory machine produces sound having a displacement amplitude of 1.00 渭-m, but the frequency of this sound can be adjusted. In order to prevent ear damage to the workers, the maxi mum pressure amplitude of the sound waves is limited to 10.0 Pa. Under the conditions of this factory, the bulk modulus of air is 1.42 x 105 Pa. What is the highest-frequency sound to which this machine can be adjusted without exceeding the prescribed limit? Is this frequency audible to the workers?

The sound source of a ship鈥檚 sonar system operates at a frequency of 18.0 kHz. The speed of sound in water (assumed to be at a uniform 20掳C) is 1482 m>s. (a) What is the wavelength of the waves emitted by the source? (b) What is the difference in frequency between the directly radiated waves and the waves reflected from a whale traveling directly toward the ship at 4.95 m/s? The ship is at rest in the water.
