Many of the topics discussed in this chapter are useful beyond the topics of mechanical waves. It is hard to conceive of a mechanical wave with sharp corners, but you could encounter such a wave form in your digital electronics class, as shown below. This could be a signal from a device known as an analog to digital converter, in which a continuous voltage signal is converted into a discrete signal or a digital recording of sound. What is the result of the superposition of the two signals?
The ear canal resonates like a tube closed at one end. (See [link]Figure 17_03_HumEar[/link].) If ear canals range in length from 1.80 to 2.60 cm in an average population, what is the range of fundamental resonant frequencies? Take air temperature to be 37.0°C, which is the same as body temperature.
Two speakers are attached to variable-frequency signal generator. Speaker A produces a constant-frequency sound wave of 1.00 kHz, and speaker B produces a tone of 1.10 kHz. The beat frequency is 0.10 kHz. If the frequency of each speaker is doubled, what is the beat frequency produced?
How do sound vibrations of atoms differ from thermal motion?
You may have used a sonic range finder in lab to measure the distance of an object using a clicking sound from a sound transducer. What is the principle used in this device?
As the number of people at a party increases,you must raise your voice for a listener to hear you againstthe background noise of the other partygoers. However, once youreach the level of yelling, the only way you can be heard is if youmove closer to your listener, into the listener’s “personal space.”Model the situation by replacing you with an isotropic point sourceof fixed power P and replacing your listener with a point that absorbspart of your sound waves.These points are initially separatedby ri=1.20 m. If the background noise increases by b=5 dB, thesound level at your listener must also increase.What separation rfis then required?
Several ducks are floating on a lake on a windy day. The ducks bob up and down everytwo seconds as a result of the waves. Whenever one particular duck moves up, it can seeanother duck ten meters away moving down. What is the speed of the waves?

Two guitarists attempt to play the same note of wavelength 6.50 cmcm at the same time, but one of the instruments is slightly out of tune. Consequently, a 19.0-HzHz beat frequency is heard between the two instruments.What were the possible wavelengths of the out-of-tune guitar’s note?
What is the angular velocity of the waves? What is the wave phase at the time of the second observation [0...2 pi]?
