- A section of drainage culvert 1.23 m in length makes a howling noise when the wind blows across its open ends. Determine the frequencies of the first three harmonics of the culvert if it is cylindrical in shape and open at both ends. Take V = 343 m/s as the speed of sound in air. f1,2,3 = 139, 279, 418 Hz respectively. Why do larger animals produce deeper (lower frequency) sounds? Why does inhaling helium gas make you talk at a higher pitch (higher frequency sound)?arrow_forwardA sound wave in a solid has a frequency of 45.0 kHz and a wavelength of 0.333 m. What would be the wave speed, and how much faster is this speed than the speed of sound in air? (The speed of sound in air is 344 m/s.) speed of sound in solid speed of sound in solid speed of sound in airarrow_forwardA 38.0-Hz sound wave is barely audible at a sound intensity level of 60.0 dB. The density of air at 20.0°C is 1.20 kg/m3. Speed of sound in air at 20.0°C is 343 m/s. What is the displacement amplitude of a 38.0-Hz sound wave? What is the ratio of the displacement amplitude to the average distance between molecules in air at room temperature, about 3.00 nm?arrow_forward
- A bat can detect small objects, such as an insect, whose size is approximately equal to one wavelength of the sound the bat makes. If bats emit a chirp at a frequency of 51.0 kHz, and if the speed of sound in air is 340 m/s, what is the smallest insect a bat can detect?mmarrow_forwardCould you explain every step please? Thanks!arrow_forwardThank you! A 77.8-Hz sound wave is barely audible at a sound intensity level of 60.0 dB. The density of air at 20.0°C is 1.20 kg/m3. Speed of sound in air at 20.0°C is 343 m/s. a) what is the displacement amplitude of a 77.8-Hz sound wave? b) what is the ration of the displacement amplitude to the average distance between molecules in air at room temperature, about 3.00 nm?arrow_forward
- What is the length of an open-pipe resonator with a fundamental frequency of 400.0Hz 400.0 Hz ? (Assume the speed of sound is 331m/s 331 m/s .) flute is an open-pipe resonator that can produce a wavelength that is twice as long as itself. A clarinet is a closed-pipe resonator. What is the longest wavelength that a clarinet can produce? Why do the same notes sound different on different musical instruments? What is the possible number of nodes and antinodes along one full wavelength of a standing wave?arrow_forwardYou've entered the Great Space Race. Your engines are hearty enough to keep you in second place. While racing, the person in front of you begins to have engine troubles and turns on his emergency lights that emit at a frequency of 5.640 x 1014 Hz. If the person in front of you is traveling 2627 km/s faster than you when he turns on his lights, what is the frequency of the emergency lights that you observe when it reaches you in your spaceship? (Enter your answer to four significant figures.) 4.0 Hz Additional Materialsarrow_forwardTwo speakers are attached to variable-frequency signal generator. Speaker A produces a constant-frequency sound wave of 1.00 kHz, and speaker B produces a tone of 1.10 kHz. The beat frequency is 0.10 kHz. If the frequency of each speaker is doubled, what is the beat frequency produced?arrow_forward

What is the speed of sound in these conditions?arrow_forwardEarly Doppler shift experiments were conducted using a band playing music on a train. A trumpet player on a moving railroad flatcar plays a 320-Hz note. The sound waves heard by a stationary observer on a train platform hears a frequency of 350 Hz. What is the flatcar’s speed in mph? The temperature of the air is TC = 22°C .arrow_forwardResonances of the ear canal lead to increased sensitivity of hearing, as we've seen. Dogs have a much longer ear canal-5.2 cm-than humans. What are the two lowest frequencies at which dogs have an increase in sensitivity? The speed of sound in the warm air of the ear is 350 m/s.
