A sound wave propagates in air at 27C with frequency 4.00 kHz. It passes through a region where the temperature gradually changes and then moves through air at 0C. Give numerical answers to the following questions to the extent possible and state your reasoning about what happens to the wave physically. (a) What happens to the speed of the wave? (b) What happens to its frequency? (c) What happens to its wavelength?
A 4.0-m-long pipe, open at one end and closed at one end, is in a room where the temperature is T=22C . A speaker capable of producing variable frequencies is placed at the open end and is used to cause the tube to resonate. (a) What is the wavelength and the frequency of the fundamental frequency? (b) What is the frequency and wavelength of the first overtone?
A sound wave traveling in air has a pressure amplitude of 0.5 Pa. What is the intensity of the wave?
A student holds an inexpensive sonic range finder and uses the range finder to find the distance to the wall. The sonic range finder emits a sound wave. The sound wave reflects off the wall and returns to the range finder. The round trip takes 0.012 s. The range finder was calibrated for use at room temperature T=20C , but the temperature in the room is actually T=23C . Assuming that the timing mechanism is perfect, what percentage of error can the student expect due to the calibration?
(a) What are the loudnesses in phons of sounds having frequencies of 200, 1000, 5000, and 10,000 Hz. if they are all at the same 60.0dB sound intensity level? (b) If may are all at 110 dB? (c) If they are all at 20.0 dB?
(a) Ear trumpets were never very common, but they did aid people with hearing losses by gathering sound over a large area and concentrating it on the smaller area of the eardrum. What decibel increase does an ear trumpet produce it its sound gathering area is 900 cm2 and the area of the eardrum is 0.500 cm2, but the trumpet only has an eficiency of 5.00% in transmitting the sound to the eardrum? (b) Comment on the usefulness of the decibel increase found in part (a).
A tube filled with water has a valve at the bottom to allow the water to flow out of the tube. As the water is emptied from the tube, the length L of the air column changes. A 1024-Hz tuning fork is placed at the opening of the tube. Water is removed from the tube until the n=5 mode of a sound wave resonates. What is the length of the air column if the temperature of the air in the room is 18°C?
