Chapter 2: Q62P (page 501)

A vertical, \(1.20\;{\rm{m}}\) length of 18 gauge (diameter of 1.024 mm) copper wire has a 100.0 N ball hanging from it.

(a) What is the wavelength of the third harmonic for this wire?

(b) A 500.0 N ball now replaces the original ball. What is the change in the wavelength of the third harmonic caused by replacing the light ball with the heavy one? (Hint: Se Table 11.1 for Young’s modulus.)

Short Answer

Expert verified

Thus, (a) the wavelength of the third harmonic for the wire is 0.8 m

Step by step solution

01

(a) Given in the question

Tension in wire \(F = 100\;{\rm{N}}\).

Length of string \(L = 1.20\;m\)

Diameter of wire \(d = 1.024\;{\rm{mm}}\).

02

Use formula of wavelength

The formula of wavelength is:

\(\lambda = \frac{{2L}}{n}\).

Here,\(L\)length of string and\(n\)is harmonic number.

03

Calculate the wavelength

Solve the wavelength as follows:

\(\begin{array}{c}\lambda = \frac{{2L}}{n}\\ = \frac{2}{3} \times 1.2\\ = 0.8\;m\end{array}\)

Thus, the wavelength of the third harmonic for the wire is 0.8 m.

Most popular questions from this chapter

A jet plane flies overhead at Mach 1.70 and at a constant altitude of 1250 m. (a) What is the angle σof the shock-wave cone? (b) How much time after the plane passes directly overhead do you hear the sonic boom? Neglect the variation of the speed of sound with altitude.

When sound travels from air into water, does the frequency of the wave change? The speed? The wavelength? Explain your reasoning.

If the deepest structure you wish to image is 10.0cm from the transducer, what is the maximum number of pulses per second that can be emitted? (a) 3850; (b) 7700; (c) 15400; (d) 1,000,000 .

15.4. BIO Ultrasound Imaging. Sound having frequencies above the range of human hearing (about 20,000 Hz) is called ultrasound. Waves above this frequency can be used to penetrate the body and to produce images by reflecting from surfaces. In a typical ultrasound scan, the waves travel through body tissue with a speed of 1500 m/s . For a good, detailed image, the wavelength should be no more than 1.0 mm. What frequency sound is required for a good scan?

Consider a sound wave in air that has displacement amplitude 0.0200 mm. Calculate the pressure amplitude for frequencies of (a) 150 Hz; (b) 1500 Hz; (c) 15,000 Hz. In each case compare the result to the pain threshold, which is 30 Pa.
