The fundamental frequency of a pipe that is open at both ends is 524 Hz. (a) How long is this pipe? If one end is now closed, find (b) the wavelength and (c) the frequency of the new fundamental.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a)the length of the pipe is0.328 m

b) The wavelength is 1.312 m

c) The frequency of new fundamental is 262.2 Hz.

Step by step solution

01

Concept of the frequency of the open and closed pipe.

The frequency of standing wave in an open pipe is f=nv2L and the frequency of standing wave in a closed pipe isf=vλ=nv4L where,f is The frequency of nth harmonic, v is the velocity of the wave,n,nth harmonic (n — 1, 2, 3, ... ) , L is the length of the pipe.

02

Calculate the length of the pipe Fundamental frequency is the first harmonic n=1

L=nv2f1=1×344​ m/s2×524 Hz=0.328 m

Therefore, the length of the pipe is 0.328 m.

03

Calculate the wavelength

The wavelength is given as

l=4Ln=4×0.328 m1=1.312 m

04

Calculate the frequency of new fundamental

The new fundamental frequency is given as

f=nv4L=1×344 m/s4×0.328 m=262.2 Hz

The new fundamental frequency and wavelength are262.2 Hz and 1.312 mrespectively.

Small speakers A and B are driven in phase at 725 Hz by the same audio oscillator. Both speakers start out 4.50 m from the listener, but speaker A is slowly moved away (Fig. E16.34). (a) At what distance d will the sound from the speakers first produce destructive interference at the listener’s location? (b) If A is moved even farther away than in part (a), at what distance d will the speakers next produce destructive interference at the listener’s

Two loudspeakers, A and B (Fig. E16.35), are driven by the same amplifier and emit sinusoidal waves in phase. Speaker B is 2.00 m to the right of speaker A. Consider point Q along the extension of the line connecting the speakers, 1.00 m to the right of speaker B. Both speakers emit sound waves that travel directly from the speaker to point Q. What is the lowest frequency for which (a) constructive interference occurs at point Q; (b) destructive interference occurs at point Q?

The Sacramento City Council adopted a law to reduce the allowed sound intensity level of the much-despised leaf blowers from their current level of about 95 dB to 70 db. With the new law, what is the ratio of the new allowed intensity to the previously allowed intensity?

As we discussed in Section 15.1, water waves are a combination of longitudinal and transverse waves. Defend the following statement: “When water waves hit a vertical wall, the wall is a node of the longitudinal displacement but an antinode of the transverse displacement.”

A turntable 1.50 m in diameter rotates at 75 rpm. Two speakers, each giving off sound of wavelength 31.3 cm, are attached to the rim of the table at opposite ends of a diameter. A listener stands in front of the turntable. (a) What is the greatest beat frequency the listener will receive from this system? (b) Will the listener be able to distinguish individual beats?
