Textbook Question
Chapter 15.7, Problem 15.7TYU
Suppose the frequency of the standing wave in Example 15.6 were doubled from 440 Hz to 880 Hz. Would all of the nodes for f = 440 Hz also be nodes for f = 880 Hz? If so, would there be additional nodes for f = 880 Hz? If not, which nodes are absent for f = 880 Hz?

While chasing the person who released all the ping pong balls, an astronaut is screaming at 694Hz while moving towards the miscreant at 5.2 m/s. The prankster is fleeing, but at only 3.1 m/s. The air on the ISS is kept pretty close to standard pressure and temperature, so the speed of sound is 343 m/s. At what frequency does the prankster hear the yell?
Do not actually solve the problem numerically or algebraically, just pick the one equation and define the relevant knowns and single unknown.
Suppose that the two speakers in given Figure are separated by 2.50 m and are vibrating exactly out of phase at a frequency of 429 Hz. The speed of sound is 343 m/s.
