An A string on a violin is supposed to have a fundamental frequency of 440 Hz. If the string is made of steel (0.00153 kg/m) and has a length of 32.5 cm, what is the beat frequency if the tension is 720 N? What length of a pipe (open at one end) would have a first harmonic of the same frequency? Assume the speed of sound is 343 m/s

What are the first three overtones of a bassoon that has a fundamental frequency of 90.0 Hz? It is open at both ends. (The overtones of a real bassoon are more complex than this example, because its double reed makes it act more like a tube closed at one end.)
If a wind instrument, such as a tuba, has a fundamental frequency of 32.0 Hz, what are its first three overtones? It is closed at one end. (The overtones of a real tuba are more complex than this example, because it is a tapered tube.)
A sound wave of a frequency of 2.00 kHz is produced by a string oscillating in the n=6 mode. The linear mass density of the string is =0.0065 kg/m and the length of the string is 1.50 m. What is the tension in the string?
What beat frequencies result if a piano hammer hits there strings that emit frequencies of 127.8, 128.1, and 128.3 Hz?
A nylon guitar string is fixed between two lab posts 2.00 m apart. The string has a linear mass density of =7.20 g/m and is placed under a tension of 160.00 N. The string is placed next to a tube, open at both ends, of length L. The string is plucked and the tube resonates at the n=3 mode. The speed of sound is 343 m/s. What is the length of the tube?
Two strings are attached between two poles separated by a distance of 2.00 meters as shown in the preceding figure, both strings have a linear density of 1=0.0025 kg/m, the tension in string 1 is 600.00 N and the tension in string 2 is 700.00 N. Transverse wave pulses are generated simultaneously at opposite ends of the strings. How much time passes before the pulses pass one another?
The G string on a violin has a fundamental frequency of 196 Hz. It is 30.0 cm long and has a mass of 0.500 g. While this string is sounding, a nearby violinist effectively shortens the G string on her identical violin (by sliding her finger down the string) until a beat frequency of 2.00 Hz is heard between the two strings. When that occurs, what is the effective length of her string?
A string with a linear mass density of =0.0062 kg/m is stretched between two posts 1.30 m apart. The tension in the string is 150.00 N. The string oscillates and produces a sound wave. A 1024-Hz tuning fork is struck and the beat frequency between the two sources is 52.83 Hz. What are the possible frequency and wavelength of the wave on the string?
An organ pipe (L=3.00m) is closed at both ends. Compute the wavelengths and frequencies of the first three modes of resonance. Assume the speed of sound is v=343.00 m/s.
An organ pipe (L=3.00m) is closed at one end. Compute the wavelengths and frequencies of the first three modes of resonance. Assume the speed of sound is v=343.00 m/s.
Why is a pulse on a string considered to be transverse?
A string is fixed at both end. The mass of the string is 0.0090 kg and the length is 3.00 m. The string is under a tension of 200.00 N. The string is driven by a variable frequency source to produce standing waves on the string. Find the wavelengths and frequency of the first four modes of standing waves.
