Two loudspeakers emit 400 Hz notes. One speaker sits on the
ground. The other speaker is in the back of a pickup truck. You
hear eight beats per second as the truck drives away from you.
What is the truck’s speed?
Two in-phase speakers 2.0 m apart in a plane are emitting 1800 Hz sound waves into a room where the speed of sound is 340 m/s. Is the point 4.0 m in front of one of the speakers, perpendicular to the plane of the speakers, a point of maximum constructive interference, maximum destructive interference, or something in between?
A 25-cm-long wire with a linear density of 20 g/m passes across the open end of an 85-cm-long open-closed tube of air. If the wire, which is fixed at both ends, vibrates at its fundamental frequency, the sound wave it generates excites the second vibrational mode of the tube of air. What is the tension in the wire? Assume vsound = 340 m/s.
FIGURE Q17.1 shows a standing wave oscillating on a string at frequency f0. a. What mode (m-value) is this? b. How many antinodes will there be if the frequency is doubled to 2f0?
FIGURE Q17.8 is a snapshot graph of two plane waves passing
through a region of space. Each wave has a 2.0 mm amplitude
and the same wavelength. What is the net displacement of the
medium at points a, b, and c?
