7. Question 1 A steel wire in a piano has a length of 0.9 m and a mass of 5.4 g. To what tension must this wire be stretched so that its fundamental vibration corresponds to middle C: i.e., the vibration possess a frequency 261.6.

8. Wind instruments – Double open ended pipes Frequencies are identical to waves on a string

9. Wind instruments – Single open ended pipes Only odd harmonics are present

10. Question 2 – Pepsi Bottle What is the fundamental frequency of a pepsi bottle 32 cm tall when you blow over it. Assume the speed of sound in air is 343 m/s. 5 cm of water are added to the bottle. What is the new resonant frequency. 32 cm

11. Waves on the surface of a liquid

12. Two dimensional wave reflection

13. Interference in Space When the path lengths from source to receiver differ by /2 destructive interference results.

14. Interference in Time - Beats Two sounds of different frequency: Superposition:

15. Trig identity again: Interference in Time - Beats Amplitude varies in time at a frequency equal to the difference in the two frequencies Beat Frequency

16. Beats

17. Doppler Effect

18. Doppler Effect – 4 cases Source moving toward receiver Source moving away from receiver Receiver (observer) moving towards source Receiver (observer) moving away from source.

19. Source moving case Towards: Away:

20. Receiver (observer) moving case Towards: Away:

21. Source and receiver moving Numerator – Receiver (observer) –Toward + –Away – Denominator – Source –Toward – –Away +

22. Doppler Example Intelligence tells you that a particular piece of machinery in the engine room of a Soviet Victor III submarine emits a frequency of 320 Hz. Your sonar operator hears the machinery but reports the frequency is 325 Hz. Assume you have slowed to a negligible speed in order to better hear the Russian. –Is the VIII coming toward you or moving away from you? –Assuming the Victor is either moving directly toward or away from you, what is his speed in m/s?

23. Shock waves and the sonic boom

24. Sometimes you hear 2 booms
