A student holds an inexpensive sonic range finder and uses the range finder to find the distance to the wall. The sonic range finder emits a sound wave. The sound wave reflects off the wall and returns to the range finder. The round trip takes 0.012 s. The range finder was calibrated for use at room temperature T=20C , but the temperature in the room is actually T=23C . Assuming that the timing mechanism is perfect, what percentage of error can the student expect due to the calibration?
(1) My textbook says, "Air molecules don’t get push forward forever because that’s called wind." So, what type of force stops the air molecules from moving forward forever? (2) My textbook says, "In an open cylinder, the air molecules can expand and contract from both ends, and if you draw a graph of the displacements of molecules on each end over time, you’ll always end up with whole wavelengths: 2nd harmonic, 4th harmonic, 6th harmonic. In a closed cylinder, you’ll end up with half wavelengths: 1st harmonic, 3rd harmonic, and 5th harmonic waves." Please explain why this happens in more detail.
A 29.0 cm -long wire with a linear density of 30.0 g/m passes across the open end of an 82.0 cm -long open-closed tube of air. If the wire, which is fixed at both ends, vibrates at its fundamental frequency, the sound wave it generates excites the second vibrational mode of the tube of air. What is the tension in the wire? speed of sound v=340m/s.
98. A bat emits a sound whose frequency is 91 kHz. The speed of soundin air at 20.0 8C is 343 m/s. However, the air temperature is 35 8C, so thespeed of sound is not 343 m/s. Assume that air behaves like an ideal gas,and fi nd the wavelength of the sound
Spider strands are very strong and light due to their nano-fiber composition. Spiders use different gland types to produce different silks, with some spiders generating up to eight known types of silk. Spiders often lay silk lines and then spool them up to the desired amount of tension. The radial strands of a particular spider's web was measured to have a tension force of 45.6*10-3N. Vibrations were found to propagate along these strands at a rate of 85.1 m/s. a) What is the mass per unit length of this spider silk? b) A 11 mg fly caught in the web beats it's wings at a frequency of 244 Hz. What is the wavelength of the vibration set up along the spider silk?
A bat emits a sound with a frequency of 144 kHz in a cave where the temperature is 28°C. Assume that air behaves like an ideal monatomic gas and use the fact that the speed of sound in air at 20.0°C is 343 m/s to determine the wavelength of the sound emitted by the bat.

The denizens of a distant planet live under an atmosphere made predominately of CO2, which is a dispersive medium. While attending a concert, which of the following would be true for a spectator seated in the back of a large amphitheatre? I. They would hear the low notes and high notes at the same time. II. They would hear the low notes and high notes at different times. III. They would hear nothing because sound can't propagate in CO2.

A group of physics students are conducting an experiment to determine if the temperature of a medium affects the speed of sound through it. Over several days they collect the following data: Based on the data table above, which factor(s) - temperature, frequency, amplitude, or wave speed - affect the speed of sound and how?
