- A tuning fork is known to vibrate with frequency 262 Hz. When it is sounded along with a mandolin siring, four beats are heard every second. Next, a bit of tape is put onto each line of the tuning fork, and the tuning fork now produces five beats per second with the same mandolin siring. What is the frequency of the string? (a) 257 Hz (b) 258 Hz (c) 262 Hz (d) 266 Hz (e) 267 Hzarrow_forwardA yellow submarine traveling horizontally at 11.0 m/s uses sonar with a frequency of 5.27 103 Hz. A red submarine is in front of the yellow submarine and moving 3.00 m/s relative to the water in the same direction. A crewman in the red submarine observes sound waves (pings) from the yellow submarine. Take the speed of sound in seawater as 1 533 m/s. (a) Write Equation 14.12. (b) Which submarine is the source of the sound? (c) Which submarine carries the observer? (d) Does the motion of the observers submarine increase or decrease the time between the pressure maxima of the incoming sound waves? How does that affect the observed period? The observed frequency? (e) Should the sign of v0 be positive or negative? (f) Does the motion of the source submarine increase or decrease the time observed between the pressure maxima? How does this motion affect the observed period? The observed frequency? (g) What sign should be chosen for vs? (h) Substitute the appropriate numbers and obtain the frequency observed by the crewman on the red submarine.arrow_forwardThe string shown in Figure P13.5 is driven at a frequency of 5.00 Hz. The amplitude of the motion is A = 12.0 cm, and the wave speed is v = 20.0 m/s. Furthermore, the wave is such that y = 0 at x = 0 and t = 0. Determine (a) the angular frequency and (b) the wave number for this wave. (c) Write an expression for the wave function. Calculate (d) the maximum transverse speed and (e) the maximum transverse acceleration of an element of the string. Figure P13.5arrow_forward
