- You are working for a plumber who is laying very long sections of copper pipe for a large building project. He spends a lot of time measuring the lengths of the sections with a measuring tape. You suggest a faster way to measure the length. You know that the speed of a one-dimensional compressional wave traveling along a copper pipe is 3.56 km/s. You suggest that a worker give a sharp hammer blow at one end of the pipe. Using an oscilloscope app on your smartphone, you will measure the time interval t between the arrival of the two sound waves due to the blow: one through the 20.0C air and the other through the pipe. (a) To measure the length, you must derive an equation that relates the length L of the pipe numerically to the time interval t. (b) You measure a time interval of t = 127 ms between the arrivals of the pulses and, from this value, determine the length of the pipe. (c) Your smartphone app claims an accuracy of 1.0% in measuring time intervals. So you calculate by how many centimeters your calculation of the length might be in error.arrow_forwardA 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?arrow_forwardLater in this book, you will learn that sound is a wave. The wavelength and frequency f of a wave are related by f = v where v is the speed of the wave. Musicians refer to these different wavelengths or frequencies by their notes (AG). Use the information in the following table to plot the frequency on the vertical axis and 1/ on the horizontal axis. Give a conceptual Interpretation and numerical value of the slope on your graph.arrow_forward

Assume the waves travel at the speed of sound in air: 343 m/s. Draw the wave 2 seconds and 5 seconds after it was emitted. Label the total energy at each of these times. Label the energy per unit area for each of these times.
