Question
1. In her physics lab Maria finds that she can take a long glass tube and fill it with water using the air space at the top to simulate a pipe closed at one end. Maria holds a tuning fork which vibrates with a fundamental frequency of 440 Hz over the mouth of the pipe how long is the air column if it vibrates with the same frequency?

- The denizens of a distant planet live under an atmosphere made predominately of CO2, which is a dispersive medium. While attending a concert, which of the following would be true for a spectator seated in the back of a large amphitheatre? I. They would hear the low notes and high notes at the same time. II. They would hear the low notes and high notes at different times. III. They would hear nothing because sound can't propagate in CO2.arrow_forward4.
