Can you create a standing wave with a longer wavelength than the wave with the fundamental frequency? Explain.

Standing waves can be said to be due to “interference inspace,” whereas beats can be said to be due to “interference in time.” Explain.

How does the wavelength of a standing wave in a vibrating string vary with the tension force in the string and/or the linear mass density of the string?

A wave is produced in a given string by an oscillator that wiggles one end of that string up and down at a given frequency, f. What happens to the wave number, k, if the frequency is increased by a factor of four? a) k is 1/4 as big b) k is 1/2 as big c) k is constant d) k is 2x as big c) k is 4x as big

What is the difference in motion between a transverse and longitudinal wave? Which type(s) can be considered as having kinetic energy?

99.. The standing waves in air in a pipe of length L that is open at both ends have a speed v. The frequencies of the three lowest harmonics are A) v/L, 2v/L, and 3v/L B) v/2L, v/L, and 3v/2L C) 2/2, 2, and 32/2 D) L/v, 2L/v, and 3L/v E) 2/3, 22/3, and 32/3

Dogs can here sound waves with frequencies ranging from 40 Hz to 60 kHz. What are the wavelengths of these frequencies in air (Vs = 340 m/s)?

The longitudinal oscillations of air layers in sound wave propogation are consistent with the random thermal movement of molecules in air. Explain.

What is the difference between a transverse and longitudinal wave? List examples of each.

Does interference between waves permanently alter the shape and features of a wave? Explain.
