1 1995B6. (10 points) A hollow tube of length Q. open at both ends as shown above, is held in midair. A tuning fork with a frequency f o vibrates at one end of the tube and causes the air in the tube to vibrate at its fundamental frequency. Express your answers in terms of l and f o a. Determine the wavelength of the sound. b. Determine the speed of sound in the air inside the tube. c. Determine the next higher frequency at which this air column would resonate. The tube is submerged in a large, graduated cylinder filled with water The tube is slowly raised out of the water and the same tuning fork, vibrating with frequency f O, is held a fixed distance from the top of the tube. d. Determine the height h of the tube above the water when the air column resonates for the first time. Express your answer in terms of l

2 Consider an organ pipe 8 ft long that is open at both ends. Assume the speed of sound is 1200 feet per second. a) Determine the lowest two frequencies of sound produced by the pipe. b) If the temperature drops, what will be the effect on the frequencies? Explain the reason for your answer. In the two pairs of graphs that follow, a curve is drawn in the first graph of each pair. For the other graph in each pair, sketch the curve showing the relationship between the quantities labeled on the axes. Your graph should be consistant with the first graph in the pair. Y = Displacement of Spring (Two individual pulses are shown) Y = Displacement of Spring (Draw the sum of the two pulses) Y = Displacement of string of length, L, fixed at both ends, vibrating at a frequency at f = 100 Hz x = Distance from one end of the string. Y = Displacement of string of length, L, fixed at both ends, vibrating at a frequency at f = 150 Hz
