When sound passes from one medium to another where its propagation speed is different, does its frequency or wavelength change? Explain your answer briefly.
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?
Two speakers producing the same frequency of sound are a distance of d apart. Consider an arc along a circle of radius R, centered at the midpoint of the speakers, as shown below. (a) At what angles will there be maxima? (b) At what angle will there be minima?
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?
Consider a rod of length L, mounted in the center to a support. A node must exist where the rod is mounted on a support, as shown below. Draw the first two normal modes of the rod as it is driven into resonance. Label the wavelength and the frequency required to drive the rod into resonance.
A pulse is defined as y(x,t)=e2.77( 2.00( x2.00m/s ( t ) ) 5.00m)2 . Use a spreadsheet, or other computer program, to plot the pulse as the height of medium y as a function of position x. Plot the pulse at times t=0.00s and t=3.00s on the same graph. Where is the pulse centered at time t=0.00s ? Use your spreadsheet to check your answer.
A trough with dimensions 10.00 meters by 0.10 meters by 0.10 meters is partially filled with water. Smallamplitude surface water waves are produced from both ends of the trough by paddles oscillating in simple harmonic motion. The height of the water waves are modeled with two sinusoidal wave equations, y1(x,t)=0.3msin(4m1x3s1t) and y2(x,t)=0.3mcos(4m1x+3s1t2) . What is the wave function of the resulting wave after the waves reach one another and before they reach the end of the trough (i.e., assume that there are only two waves in the trough and ignore reflections)? Use a spreadsheet to check your results. (Hint: Use the trig identities sin(uv)=sinucosvcosusinv and sin(uv)=sinucosvcosusinv
Two loud speakers are 3m apart. A person is listening to a single pitch at 680Hz. Theperson is along the back wall, which is reasonably far, what are two directions from the center ofthe speakers where the person would expect to have the music loud? Repeat for two directionsthat are quiet.The person is now standing at the location that is 4m directly in front of one of thespeakers. Determine whether that position is loud, quiet or somewhere between the twoextremes. Explain. Use a diagram to help. [Note: Do not assume the person is far away.Comment on why that makes a difference.]
