Chapter 18, Problem 18.78AP
Review. A loudspeaker at the front of a room and an identical loudspeaker at the rear of the room are being driven by the same oscillator at 456 Hz. A student walks at a uniform rate of 1.50 m/s along the length of the room. She hears a single tone repeatedly becoming louder and softer. (a) Model these variations as beats between the Doppler-shifted sounds the student receives. Calculate the number of beats the student hears each second. (b) Model the two speakers as producing a standing wave in the room and the student as walking between antinodes. Calculate the number of intensity maxima the student hears each second.

- 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?

The string is connected to a vibrator (of constant frequency f), and the length of the string between point P and the pulley is L = 2.00 m. When the mass m of the object is either 16.0 kg or 25.0 kg, standing waves are observed; no standing waves are observed with any mass between these values, however, (a) What is the frequency of the vibrator? Note: The greater the tension in the string, the smaller the number of nodes in the standing wave, (b) What is the largest object mass for which standing waves could be observed?arrow_forward
