A vertical, \(1.20\;{\rm{m}}\) length of 18 gauge (diameter of 1.024 mm) copper wire has a 100.0 N ball hanging from it.

(a) What is the wavelength of the third harmonic for this wire?

(b) A 500.0 N ball now replaces the original ball. What is the change in the wavelength of the third harmonic caused by replacing the light ball with the heavy one? (Hint: Se Table 11.1 for Young’s modulus.)

Short Answer

Expert verified

Thus, (a) the wavelength of the third harmonic for the wire is 0.8 m

Step by step solution

01

(a) Given in the question

Tension in wire \(F = 100\;{\rm{N}}\).

Length of string \(L = 1.20\;m\)

Diameter of wire \(d = 1.024\;{\rm{mm}}\).

02

Use formula of wavelength

The formula of wavelength is:

\(\lambda = \frac{{2L}}{n}\).

Here,\(L\)length of string and\(n\)is harmonic number.

03

Calculate the wavelength

Solve the wavelength as follows:

\(\begin{array}{c}\lambda = \frac{{2L}}{n}\\ = \frac{2}{3} \times 1.2\\ = 0.8\;m\end{array}\)

Thus, the wavelength of the third harmonic for the wire is 0.8 m.

The Vocal Tract. Many opera singers (and some pop singers) have a range of about21/2 octaves or even greater. Suppose a soprano’s range extends from A below middle C (frequency 220 Hz) up to E-flat above high C (frequency 1244 Hz). Although the vocal tract is quite complicated, we can model it as a resonating air column, like an organ pipe, that is open at the top and closed at the bottom. The column extends from the mouth down to the diaphragm in the chest cavity, and we can also assume that the lowest note is the fundamental. How long is this column of air if v = 354 m/s? Does your result seem reasonable, on the basis of observations of your own body?

Two train whistles, A and B, each have a frequency of 393Hz. A is stationary and B is moving toward the right (away from A) at a speed of 35m/s. A listener is between the two whistles and is moving toward the right with a speed of 15m/s. No wind is blowing. (a) What is the frequency from A as heard by the listener? (b) What is the frequency from B as heard by the listener? (c) What is the beat frequency detected by the listener?

The hero of a western movie listens for an oncoming train by putting his ear to the track. Why does this method give an earlier warning of the approach of a train than just listening in the usual way?

Two loudspeakers, A and B (see Fig. E16.35), are driven by the same amplifier and emit sinusoidal waves in phase. Speaker B is 2.00 m to the right of speaker A. The frequency of the sound waves produced by the loudspeakers is 206 Hz. Consider a point P between the speakers and along the line connecting them, a distance x to the right of A. Both speakers emit sound waves that travel directly from the speaker to point P. For what values of x will (a) destructive interference occur at P; (b) constructive interference occur at P? (c) Interference effects like those in parts (a) and (b) are almost never a factor in listening to home stereo equipment. Why not?

When sound travels from air into water, does the frequency of the wave change? The speed? The wavelength? Explain your reasoning.
