A loud factory machine produces sound having a displacement amplitude of 1.00 μ-m, but the frequency of this sound can be adjusted. In order to prevent ear damage to the workers, the maxi mum pressure amplitude of the sound waves is limited to 10.0 Pa. Under the conditions of this factory, the bulk modulus of air is 1.42 x 105 Pa. What is the highest-frequency sound to which this machine can be adjusted without exceeding the prescribed limit? Is this frequency audible to the workers?
One end of a horizontal rope is attached to a prong of another end passes over a pulley and supports a 1.50-kg mass. The linear mass density of the rope is 0.0480 kg/m. (a) What is the speed of a transverse wave on the rope? (b) What is the wavelength? (c) How would you answer to parts (a) and (b) change if the mass were increased to 3.00 kg?
A 75.0-cm-long wire of mass 5.625 g is tied at both ends and adjusted to a tension of 35.0 N. When it is vibrating in its second overtone, find (a) the frequency and wavelength at which it is vibrating and (b) the frequency and wavelength of the sound waves it is producing.
A sinusoidal wave can be described by a cosine function, which is negative just as often as positive. So why isn’t the average power delivered by this wave zero?
