Concept explainers
* Tovi is playing a flute and Dawn is playing a violin. At the beginning of the performance, they tuned their instruments by ear, so the difference between the fundamental frequencies of the A notes played on each instrument was less than 1 Hz. At the end of the performance, they measured the A note fundamental frequencies of their instruments using a device that measures sound frequency with uncertainty 0.05 Hz. Dawn’s A was 442.6 Hz and Tovi's was 439.3 Hz. (a) Can you say for sure that the A note frequency of at least one musical instrument changed during the performance? (b) Can you say for sure that the A note frequency of both musical instruments changed during the performance? (c) What do Dawn and Tovi hear when they simultaneously play the A note at the end of the performance? Give a quantitative description.

- A “showy" custom—built car has two brass horns that are supposed to produce the same frequency but actually emit 263.8 and 264.5 Hz. What beat frequency is produced?arrow_forwardA barrel organ is shown in Figure P18.38. Such organs are much smaller than traditional organs, allowing them to fit in smaller spaces and even allowing them to be portable. Use the photo to estimate the range in fundamental frequencies produced by the organ pipes in such an instrument. Assume the pipes are open at both ends. How does that range compare to a piano whose strings range in fundamental frequency from 21.7 Hz to 4186.0 Hz?

The intensity of sound is the power of the sound waves divided by the area on which they are incident. Intensity is measured in watts per square meter, or W/m². The human ear can detect a remarkable range of sound intensities. The quietest sound that we can hear has an intensity of 10-¹2 W/m², and we begin to feel pain when the intensity reaches 1 W/m². Since the intensities that matter to people in everyday life cover a range of 12 orders of magnitude, intensities are usually converted to a logarithmic scale called the sound intensity level 3, which is measured in decibels (dB). For a given sound intensity I, B is found from the equation ß = (10 dB) log (1). where Io = 1.0 × 10-¹2 W/m². Part A What is the value of log(1,000,000)?

On a day when there is no wind, a loudspeaker S is placed at each goalpost at one end of a football field. The loudspeakers are in phase and are emitting sounds of the same constant frequency and intensity. The boys in a class are asked to find positions on the field where the sound is faintest and the girls to find positions where the sound is loudest. The positions taken are shown in the diagram below. Q Q 0 Q ♂ Q d dddd ರ S S ㅇ 어둠 Boy Girl Which student is at a position which best satisfies the conditions X = 3^?
