Some studies suggest that the upper frequency limit of hearing is determined by the diameter of the eardrum. The wavelength of the sound wave and the diameter of the eardrum are approximately equal at this upper limit. If the relationship holds exactly, what is the diameter of the eardrum of a person capable of hearing 20 000 Hz? (Assume a body temperature of 37.0C.)
The area of a typical eardrum is about 5.00 X 10-5 m2. (a) (Calculate the average sound power incident on an eardrum at the threshold of pain, which corresponds to an intensity of 1.00 W/m2. (b) How much energy is transferred to the eardrum exposed to this sound lor 1.00 mill?
A 512-Hz tuning fork is struck and placed next to a tube with a movable piston, creating a tube with a variable length. The piston is slid down the pipe and resonance is reached when the piston is 115.50 cm from the open end. The next resonance is reached when the piston is 82.50 cm from the open end. (a) What is the speed of sound in the tube? (b) How far from the open end will the piston cause the next mode of resonance?
A tuning fork is known to vibrate with frequency 262 Hz. When it is sounded along with a mandolin siring, four beats are heard every second. Next, a bit of tape is put onto each line of the tuning fork, and the tuning fork now produces five beats per second with the same mandolin siring. What is the frequency of the string? (a) 257 Hz (b) 258 Hz (c) 262 Hz (d) 266 Hz (e) 267 Hz
Speakers A and B are vibrating in phase. They are directly facing each other, are 1.33 m apart, and are each playing a 715 Hz tone. The speed of sound is 345 m/s. On the line between the speakers there are points where minimum sound intensity occurs. What is the distance of the nearest point from speaker A?
Speakers A and B are vibrating in phase. They are directly facing each other, are 8.2 m apart, and are each playing a74.0 Hz tone. The speed of sound is 343 m/s. On the line between the speakers there are few points where constructiveinterference occurs. What is the distance of the nearest point from speaker A?
Speakers A and B are vibrating in phase. They are directly facing each other, are 6.07 m apart, and are each playing a 84.5-Hz tone. The speed of sound is 343 m/s. What is the distance from speaker A to the first point on the line between the speakers where constructive interference occurs?
Two speakers, one directly behind the other, are each generating a 245-Hz sound wave. What is the smallest separation distance between the speakers that will produce destructive interference at a listener standing in front of them? The speed of sound is 343 m/s.
A round speaker emits sound waves uniformly in all direction. At a distance of 40.0m from the speaker, the sound intensity is 35 dB. What is the sound intensity level in a distance of 10.0m.
Two speakers (A and B) lie on the y-axis, 4.0m apart. They emit exactly the same 280 Hz tone in phase with each other. You start right at speaker A and walk in the x-direction. How far from speaker A do you first hear a minimum in sound intensity? Assume the speed of sound in this room is 340 m/s.
At a rock concert, the sound intensity 1.0 m in front of the bank of loudspeakers is 0.10 W/m2. A fan is 30 m from the loudspeakers. Her eardrums have a diameter of 8.4 mm. How much sound energy is transferred to each eardrum in 1.0 second?
two sound sources oscillate in phase with a frequency of 102 Hz. At a point 5.4m from one source and 6.1m from other, the displacement amplitude of the sound from each source from each source separately is 6.86*10^-7m. What is the sound level at that point ? ______dB.
