One string of a certain musical instrument is 74.0 cm long and has a mass of 8.76 g. It is being played in a room where the speed of sound is 344 m/s. To what tension must you adjust the string so that, when vibrating in its second overtone, it produces sound of wavelength 0.760 m ? (Assume that the breaking stress of the wire is very large and isn’t exceeded.) What frequency sound does this string produce in its fundamental mode of vibration?
In the singing rod demonstration, Mr. H holds a 2.13-m length of aluminum rod in the exact center. With rosin on his fingers, he slides his sticky fingers back and forth over the rod until it begins to sing out with a very pure tone. Assuming waves travel at speeds of 6320 m/s within the aluminum and that the standing wave pattern is characteristic of one-half wavelength between the rod's ends, determine the frequency of the sound.

A 57-dB sound wave strikes an eardrum whose area is 5.0×10−5m^2. The intensity of the reference level required to determine the sound level is 1.0×10−12W/m^2. 1yr=3.156×107s How much energy is absorbed by the eardrum per second? At this rate, how long would it take the eardrum to receive a total energy of 1.0 J?
A tuning fork that vibrates at a frequency 680 Hz is placed over an 80 centimeter long cylinder that is completely filled with water. The water is then allowed to drain out, creating an air column of varying length above the surface of the water and inside the cylinder. Find the distances d between the top of the cylinder and the surface of the water for which the air column will resonate at 680 Hz. Assume that the speed of sound is 340 m/s.
Find the wavelength of the sound wave produced in air by the vibrating segment of a guitar string whose length is 0.440 meters and whose linear density is 2.01 grams/meter, in which the tension is 26,7 N and in which only the first Harmonic is present. Assume the speed of the sound in air to be 343 m/s.

A microphone receiving a pure sound tone feeds an oscilloscope, producing a wave on its screen. If the sound intensity is originally 2.00×10–5 W/m2, but is turned up until the amplitude increases by 30.0%, what is the new intensity?
