Your answer is partially correct. A Tunable Inclined Plane. You and your team are designing a tunable, single-tone, acoustic emitter. One end of a string is connected to a post on the top of a frictionless inclined plane. The string supports a mass at rest below, on the surface of the plane. The angle of the incline relative to the horizontal (0) is adjustable. The length of the string is L = 34.0 cm, and the mass per unit length of the string is = 5.58 x 10-³ kg/m. (a) When 0 = 19.5°, the plucked string is supposed to emit a fundamental frequency of f = 214 Hz. What value of the mass (M) is needed under these conditions? (b) What is the full frequency range of the device (i.e., by changing the angle)? (c) With the mass calculated in part (a), to what value should you set 0 so that the fundamental frequency is 340 Hz? (a) Number i 37.5 (b) Number i -377.59 (c) Number i 54.17 Units kg Units Units Hz <
Properties of sound
A sound wave is a mechanical wave (or mechanical vibration) that transit through media such as gas (air), liquid (water), and solid (wood).
Quality Of Sound
A sound or a sound wave is defined as the energy produced due to the vibrations of particles in a medium. When any medium produces a disturbance or vibrations, it causes a movement in the air particles which produces sound waves. Molecules in the air vibrate about a certain average position and create compressions and rarefactions. This is called pitch which is defined as the frequency of sound. The frequency is defined as the number of oscillations in pressure per second.
Categories of Sound Wave
People perceive sound in different ways, like a medico student takes sound as vibration produced by objects reaching the human eardrum. A physicist perceives sound as vibration produced by an object, which produces disturbances in nearby air molecules that travel further. Both of them describe it as vibration generated by an object, the difference is one talks about how it is received and other deals with how it travels and propagates across various mediums.
