A 515-Hz tuning fork is struck and placed next to a tube with a movable piston, creating a tube with a variable length. The piston is slid down the pipe and resonance is reached when the piston is 112.5 cm from the open end. The next resonance is reached when the piston is 82.5 cm from the open end. Round all answers to one decimal place.

Hint (a)

  1. What is the speed of sound in the tube?
    v=v=  m/s
  2. How far from the open end will the piston cause the next mode of resonance?
    L=L=  cm

A tuning fork on a movable cart is vibrating at a frequency of 1500 Hz. As you are walking past the cart at 2 m/sec, the cart begins accelerating uniformly in the direction you’re walking. When it is 20 m in front of you, the sound of the tuning fork is heard to be at a frequency of 1380 Hz. Knowing that the air temperature at your location is 23.6°C, determine the acceleration of the cart.

A tuning fork generates sound waves with a frequency of 230 Hz. The waves travel in opposite directions along a hallway, are reflected by walls, and return. The hallway is46.0 m long and the tuning fork is located 14.0 m from one end. What is the phase difference between the reflected waves when they meet at the tuning fork? The speed of sound in air is 343 m/s. (Ans in degrees)

Vibration from a 620 Hz tuning fork sets up standing waves on a string clamped at both ends (one of which you may take as x=0). The travelling wave speed on this string is 440 m/s. The standing wave has four anti-nodes and an amplitude of 2.0 mm. (a) What is the length of the string? ___ m (b) Write an equation for the transverse displacement of the string as a function of position and time: y(x,t) = ( ___...

A musician is tuning the pitch of a violin using a sound fork at 3,000 Hz. He first hears the combined sound intensity rise and fall with a time of 0.25 s between the maximum intensity and the succeeding minimum intensity.
A musician is tuning the pitch of a violin using a sound fork at 3,000 Hz. He first hears the combined sound intensity rise and fall with a time of 0.25 s between the maximum intensity and the succeeding minimum intensity. As he tightens the string, the time between the intensity maximums becomes longer. What is the pitch of the violin string at first?
