Chapter 2: Q7DQ (page 537)

Lane dividers on highways sometimes have regularly

spaced ridges or ripples. When the tires of a moving car roll along

such a divider, a musical note is produced. Why? Explain how this

phenomenon could be used to measure the car鈥檚 speed.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The musical car produces pitch at higher speed while it passes over the bumps.

Step by step solution

01

Write the given data:

The musical note is produced on the highway by the tires with moving car roll.

02

Determine the concept

Consider the formula for the wavelength in terms of the speed of the wave.

位=vsf

Here, the frequency is f and the speed of the wave is vs

03

Determine the reason for the given condition

Consider as the vehicle while it passes over the bumps, the vehicle vibrates with the frequency while passing over the bump. Consider the frequency creates a note that produces the musical note. As the speed of the vehicle increases the bumps are crossed at much higher speed causing the increase in the pitch.

Therefore, the musical car produces pitch at higher speed while it passes over the bumps.

A person is playing a small flute 10.75cm long, open at one end and closed at the other, near a taut string having a fundamental frequency of 600.0鈥�Hz. If the speed of sound is 344.0鈥�m/s , for which harmonics of the flute will the string resonate? In each case, which harmonic of the string is in resonance?

A swimming duck paddles the water with its feet once every 1.6 s, producing surface waves with this period. The duck is moving at constant speed in a pond where the speed of surface waves is 0.32 m/s, and the crests of the waves ahead of the duck are spaced 0.12 m apart. (a) What is the duck鈥檚 speed? (b) How far apart are the crests behind the duck?

A railroad train is traveling at 25m/s in still air. The frequency of the note emitted by the locomotive whistle is 400Hz. What is the wavelength of the sound waves (a) in front of the locomotive and (b) behind the locomotive? What is the frequency of the sound heard by a stationary listener (c) in front of the locomotive and (d) behind the locomotive?

A thin, 75.0cm wire has a mass of 16.5g. One end is tied to a nail, and the other end is attached to a screw that can be adjusted to vary the tension in the wire. (a) To what tension (in newtons) must you adjust the screw so that a transverse wave of wavelength 3.33 cm makes 625 vibrations per second? (b) How fast would this wave travel?

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