Would you expect the pitch (or frequency) of an organ pipe to increase or decrease with increasing temperature? Explain.
Short Answer
The frequency of the organ pipe increases with the increase in the temperature.

The Sacramento City Council adopted a law to reduce the allowed sound intensity level of the much-despised leaf blowers from their current level of about 95 dB to 70 db. With the new law, what is the ratio of the new allowed intensity to the previously allowed intensity?
Longitudinal Waves on a Spring. A long spring such as a is often used to demonstrate longitudinal waves. (a) Show that if a spring that obeys Hooke’s law has mass m, length L, and force constant k′, the speed of longitudinal waves on the spring is
(see Section 16.2). (b) Evaluate v for a spring with m = 0.250 kg, L = 2.00 m, and k′ = 1.50 N/m.
After a beam passes through of tissue, what is the beam’s intensity as a fraction of its initial intensity from the transducer?

You have a stopped pipe of adjustable length close to a taut 62.0-cm, 7.25-g wire under a tension of 4110 N. You want to adjust the length of the pipe so that, when it produces sound at its fundamental frequency, this sound causes the wire to vibrate in its second overtone with very large amplitude. How long should the pipe be?
One end of a horizontal rope is attached to a prong of another end passes over a pulley and supports a 1.50-kg mass. The linear mass density of the rope is 0.0480 kg/m. (a) What is the speed of a transverse wave on the rope? (b) What is the wavelength? (c) How would you answer to parts (a) and (b) change if the mass were increased to 3.00 kg?
