A stone is dropped from the top of a cliff. The splash it makes when striking the water below is heard 2.7 s later. How high is the cliff?
Short Answer
The height of the cliff is \(33.24\;{\rm{m}}\).

Get started for freeQuestion: (II) Two violin strings are tuned to the same frequency, 294 Hz. The tension in one string is then decreased by 2.5%. What will be the beat frequency heard when the two strings are played together? (Hint: Recall Eq. 11โ13.)
Question: The โalpenhornโ (Fig. 12โ42) was once used to send signals from one Alpine village to another. Since lower frequency sounds are less susceptible to intensity loss, long horns were used to create deep sounds. When played as a musical instrument, the alpenhorn must be blown in such a way that only one of the overtones is resonating. The most popular alpenhorn is about \({\bf{3}}{\bf{.4}}\,{\bf{m}}\) long, and it is called the \({{\bf{F}}^{\bf{\# }}}\) horn. What is the fundamental frequency of this horn, and which overtone is close to\({{\bf{F}}^{\bf{\# }}}\)? (See Table12โ3.) Model as a tube open at both ends.
Question: (II) A tight guitar string has a frequency of 540 Hz as its third harmonic. What will be its fundamental frequency if it is fingered at a length of only 70% of its original length?
Standing waves can be said to be due to โinterference in space,โ whereas beats can be said to be due to โinterference in time.โ Explain.
An organ is in tune at \({\bf{22}}{\bf{.}}{{\bf{0}}^{\bf{o}}}{\bf{C}}\). By what percent will the frequency be off at \({\bf{1}}{{\bf{1}}^{\bf{o}}}{\bf{C}}\)?
