The acoustic impedance of water is Zwater = 1440000 kg/(m2 s), and that of bone is Zbone = 7800000 kg/(m2 s). What proportion of the energy of a sound wave propagating in water will be reflected at the water-bone boundary?
One string of a certain musical instrument is 74.0 cm long and has a mass of 8.76 g. It is being played in a room where the speed of sound is 344 m/s.
To what tension must you adjust the string so that, when vibrating in its second overtone, it produces sound of wavelength 0.760 m ? (Assume that the breaking stress of the wire is very large and isn’t exceeded.)
What frequency sound does this string produce in its fundamental mode of vibration?
