problem 2. A bass clarinet can be modeled as a 120-cm-long tube closed at one end. A musician starts playing at room temperature (vsound = 343 m/s), but the temperature soon increases to where the speed of sound is 352 m/s. What is the change in the fundamental frequency?

problem 3. Three successive resonance frequencies in an organ pipe are 1310, 1834, and 2358 Hz. What is the length of the pipe?

Coloured objects, red ones, blue ones, whatever. For this purpose, one assumes that light is waveforms as opposed to particles of energy. Traditional theories state that a green object appears green because it reflects green light and absorbs other frequencies: red, likewise. What property does the substance have to cause it to reflect certain wavelengths and to absorb others? Is this related to luminescence and fluorescence?

A cylinder with rotational inertia I1 = 2.6 kg · m^2 rotates clockwise about a vertical axis through its center with angular speed ω1 = 5.8 rad/s. A second cylinder with rotational inertia I2 = 1.3 kg · m2 rotates counterclockwise about the same axis with angular speed ω2 = 6.6 rad/s. If the cylinders couple so they have the same rotational axis, what is the angular speed of the combination (in rad/s)?

1.12 [2pt] Consider one infinitely long straight wire with a uniform charge density of 1 C/m. Sketch the electric field around the wire

1.12 ANSWER

1.13 [2pt] In problem 1.12, calculate the magnitude of electric field at a distance R from the wire. How is it different (if any) from the field of a point charge?

1.13 ANSWER

1.14 [2pt] Consider two infinite wires 1 m apart with a uniform charge density per unit length 1 C/m. Calculate the force per unit length between the wires. To do this, just select a tiny, nearly point-like section of a wire of length Land calculate the force due to the electric field of the other wire using the Coulomb’s law. Your answer should be proportional to L. Divide it by L and this is the force per unit length.

1.14 ANSWER

1.15 [1pt] Explain, in a few sentences, how the electric force between two charged wires differs from the regular Coulomb law and why.

In music, middle C has a frequency of about 256 Hz - the precise frequency depends on the tuning scheme. How does the wavelength of a middle C note propagating through air compare to the size of a typical human body? How does the wavelength of the same note propagating through water compare to the human body? What frequency of sound in air has a wavelength nearly the size of a human head? This size is important because we have diminished ability to determine the direction to a source of this tone.
