Would you expect the pitch (or frequency) of an organ pipe to increase or decrease with increasing temperature? Explain.
On the planet Arrakis a male ornithoid is flying toward his mate at while singing at a frequency of . If the stationary female hears a tone of , what is the speed of sound in the atmosphere of Arrakis?
The four strings on a violin have different thicknesses but are all under approximately the same tension. Do waves travel faster on the thick strings or the thin strings? Why? How does the fundamental vibration frequency compare for the thick versus the thin strings?
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.
The speed of ocean waves depends on the depth of the water; the deeper the water, the faster the wave travels. Use this to explain why ocean waves crest and 鈥渂reak鈥� as they near the shore.
