A fisherman notices that his boat is moving up and down in a periodic way because of waves on the surface of the water. It takes 4.0 s for the boat to travel from its highest point to its lowest, a total distance of 3.0 m. The fisherman sees that the wave crests are spaced 8.0 m apart. Find the frequency.
Two identical guitar strings are prepared such that they have the same length (0.68) and are under the same amount of tension. The first string is plucked at one location, primarily exciting the first harmonic. The other string is plucked in a different location, primarily exciting the fourth harmonic. The resulting sounds give rise to a beat frequency of 324Hz. What is the wave propagation speed on the guitar strings? wave propagation speed: m/s

A flagpole consists of a flexible, 2.17 m tall fiberglass pole planted in concrete. The bottom end of the flagpole is fixed in position, but the top end of the flagpole is free to move. What is the lowest frequency standing wave that can be formed on the flagpole if the wave propagation speed in the fiberglass is 2730 m/s? Suppose that a standing wave on the flagpole gives rise to a sound wave of the same frequency. A person would be able to hear the sound produced by the lowest frequency standing wave, previously calculated, because the average human being can detect sounds at frequencies between 20.0 Hz and 20.0 kHz. A nearby mouse, however, can only detect frequencies between 1.01 kHz and 90.0 kHz. What is the lowest flagpole harmonic that the mouse can hear?
