Conceptual Questions 21.1. (a) When a string is fixed at both ends the number of antinodes is the mode (m-value) of the standing wave; so
m 4. (b) When the frequency is doubled the wavelength is halved. This halving of the wavelength will increase the number of antinodes to eight.
21.2. When the string is flat most of the segments of the string (except at the nodes) are moving (quite rapidly at the antinodes), so the energy is in the kinetic energy of the moving string.
21.3. (a) m 2 (b) horizontally, because sound is a longitudinal wave (c) 0 cm, 16 cm, 32 cm (d) 8 cm and 24 cm because the pressure antinodes occur where there are displacement nodes.
21.4. The speed of sound in air is related to the temperature by v RT /M , so speed increases with increasing temperature. Some organ pipes are open at both ends and some are open-closed. However, in both cases the frequency increases with increasing speed. So frequency increases as speed increases, and speed increases as temperature increases. As a result, as the air in the organ pipe warms up, the frequency of the fundamental and hence all the harmonics will increase slightly.
21.5. The sound you hear is the vibration of the glass; it is set into motion by the disturbance of the flowing, sloshing liquid. The disturbances are of many frequencies but the natural frequency of the glass resonates and is amplified by the glass while other frequencies are quickly damped out. The reason the pitch rises as the glass fills is that the natural frequency of the glass changes; as the glass fills the resonance frequency rises.
21.6. The length of the flute is the same regardless of the gas it is filled with; consequently, the fundamental wavelength is the same too. But because helium atoms have a smaller atomic mass than air molecules, helium atoms move faster on average at the same temperature. So the speed of sound is greater in helium than in air at the same temperature. In v f if is unchanged but v is increased, then f must increase also; this is perceived as a higher pitch. The same explanation applies to the voices of people who have inhaled a breath of helium.
21.7. Use v Ts / and v f Assume the linear mass density is the same in all parts of this question. Use primes T v2 ( f )2 f 2 (2 f0 )2 4 Changing the tension is how one tunes a guitar; it T0 v02 ( f0 )2 f02 f02 would be difficult to increase the tension by a factor of 4 without breaking the string, so only small changes are made this way. L v /f v /(2 f0 ) 1 (b) so the length must be decreased by a factor of 2. Guitar players effectively L0 0 v /f0 v /(f0 ) 2 for new quantities. (a)
decrease the length by putting their fingers down on the string at various frets to create a node there.

21.8. (a) 4 mm (b) 0 mm (c) 4 mm. This is easily seen by adding the contributions from Wave 1 and Wave 2 at each point.
21.9. At point a, two crests are arriving at the same place at the same time from in-phase sources, so it is a point of constructive interference. At point b, a crest from source 2 is arriving at the same time as a trough is arriving from source 1, so it is a point of destructive interference. At point c, two troughs are arriving at the same place at the same time from in-phase sources, so it is a point of constructive interference.
21.10. Pulling out the tuning valve lengthens the instrument and the wavelength of the standing waves. This lowers
the frequency. If she pulled out the valve slightly to go from a beat frequency of 5 Hz to 3 Hz (f 2 Hz), then she was at 445 Hz and dropped 2 Hz to 443 Hz. Had she been at 435 Hz, the beat frequency would have increased from by f from 5 to 7 Hz.

The snapshot graph at t 1.0 s differs from the graph t 0.0 s in that the left wave has moved to the right by 1.0 m and the right wave has moved to the left by 1.0 m. This is because the distance covered by each wave in 1.0 s is 1.0 m. The snapshot graphs at t 2.0, 3.0, and 4.0 s are a superposition of the left and the right moving waves.

The graph at t 2 s differs from the graph at t 0 s in that both waves have moved to the right by 2 m. This is because the distance covered by the wave pulse in 2 s is 2 m. The shorter pulse wave encounters the boundary wall at 2 s and is inverted upon reflection. This reflected pulse wave overlaps with the broader pulse wave, as shown in the snapshot graph at t 4 s. At t 6 s, only half of the broad pulse is reflected and hence inverted; the shorter pulse wave continues to move to the left with a speed of 1 m/s. Finally, at t 8 s both the reflected pulse waves are inverted and they are both moving to the left.

There is another antinode in the middle of the tube. Thus, this is the m 2 mode and the wavelength of the standing wave is equal to the length of the tube, that is, 0.80 m.

21.30. Model: The principle of superposition applies to overlapping waves. Visualize:
Solve: Because the wave pulses travel along the string at a speed of 100 m/s, they move a distance of d vt (100 m/s)(0.05 s) 5 m in 0.050 s. The front of the wave pulse moving left, which is located at x 1 m at t 0.050 s, was thus located at x 6 m at t 0 s. This helps us draw the snapshot of the wave pulse moving left at t 0 s (shown as a dashed line). Subtracting this wave snapshot from the resultant at t 0 s (shown as a solid line) yields the right-traveling wave’s snapshot at t 0 s (shown as a dotted line). Finally, the snapshot graph of the wave pulse moving right at t 0.050 s is the same as at t 0 s (shown as a dotted line) except that it is shifted to the right by 5 m.

The violin string oscillates at the same frequency, because each oscillation of the string causes one oscillation of the air. But the wavelength of the standing wave on the string is very different because the wave speed on the string is not the same as the wave speed in air. Bowing a string produces sound at the string’s fundamental frequency, so the wavelength of the string is string 1 2L 060 m vstring string f (060 m)(8575 Hz) 5145 m/s The tension is the string is found as follows:

21.48. Model: A tube forms standing waves. Solve: (a) The fundamental frequency cannot be 390 Hz because 520 Hz and 650 Hz are not integer multiples of it. But we note that the difference between 390 Hz and 520 Hz is 130 Hz as is the difference between 520 Hz and 650 Hz. We see that 390 Hz 3 130 Hz = 3f1, 520 Hz 4f1, and 650 Hz = 5f1. So we are seeing the third, fourth, and fifth harmonics of a tube whose fundamental frequency is 130 Hz. According to Equation 21.17, this is an openopen tube because fm = mf1 with m 1, 2, 3, 4, For an open-closed tube m has only odd values. (b) Knowing f1, we can now find the length of the tube:

21.50. Model: Particles of the medium at the nodes of a standing wave have zero displacement. Solve: The cork dust settles at the nodes of the sound wave where there is no motion of the air molecules. The separation between the centers of two adjacent piles is 12 . Thus,
123 cm 820 cm 3 2 Because the piston is driven at a frequency of 400 Hz, the speed of the sound wave in oxygen is v f (400 Hz)(0820 m) 328 m/s Assess: A speed of 328 m/s in oxygen is close to the speed of sound in air, which is 343 m/s at 20°C.
21.51. Model: The nodes of a standing wave are spaced /2 apart. Assume there are no standing-wave modes between those given. Visualize:
Solve: The wavelength of the mth mode of an open-open tube is m 2L/m. Or, equivalently, the length of the tube that generates the mth mode is L m( /2). Here is the same for all modes because the frequency of the tuning fork is unchanged. Increasing the length of the tube to go from mode m to mode m 1 requires a length change
L (m 1)( /2) m /2 /2 That is, lengthening the tube by /2 adds an additional antinode and creates the next standing wave. This is consistent with the idea that the nodes of a standing wave are spaced /2 apart. This tube is first increased L 567 cm 425 cm 142 cm, then by L 70.9 cm 56.7 cm 14.2 cm. Thus /2 14.2 cm and thus 28.4 cm 0.284 m. Therefore the frequency of the tuning fork is v 343 m/s f 1208 Hz 121 kHz 0284 m
21.52. Model: The open-closed tube forms standing waves. Visualize:
Solve: When the air column length L is the proper length for a 580 Hz standing wave, a standing-wave resonance will be created and the sound will be loud. From Equation 21.18, the standing-wave frequencies of an open-closed tube are f m m(v /4L), where v is the speed of sound in air and m is an odd integer: m 1, 3, 5, The frequency is fixed at 580 Hz, but as the length L changes, 580 Hz standing waves will occur for different values of m. The length that causes the mth standing-wave mode to be at 580 Hz is m(343 m/s) L (4)(580 Hz)

The tube’s length hasn’t changed, so in this mode L 34 The next mode is now slightly more than a wavelength: L 54 The next mode is

21.60. Model: Reflection is maximized for constructive interference of the two reflected waves, but minimized for destructive interference. Solve: (a) Constructive interference of the reflected waves occurs for wavelengths given by Equation 21.32: 2nd 2(142)(500 nm) (1420 nm) m m m m Thus, 1 1420 nm, 2 12 (1420 nm) 710 nm, 3 473 nm, 4 355 nm, Only the wavelength of 473 nm is in the visible range.

Thus, 1 2 1420 nm 2840 nm, 2 23 (1420 nm) 947 nm, 3 568 nm, 4 406 nm, The wavelengths of 406 nm and 568 nm are in the visible range. (c) Beyond the limits 430 nm and 690 nm the eye’s sensitivity drops to about 1 percent of its maximum value. The reflected light is enhanced in blue (473 nm). The transmitted light at mostly 568 nm will be yellowish green.
21.61. Model: Reflection is minimized when the two reflected waves interfere destructively. Solve: Equation 21.23 gives the condition for perfect destructive interference between the two waves: x 2 0 2 m 12 rad
The wavelength of the sound is

21.63. Model: The two radio antennas are sources of in-phase, circular waves. The overlap of these waves causes interference. Visualize:
Solve: Maxima occur along lines such that the path difference to the two antennas is r m The
750 MHz = 7.50 108 Hz wave has a wavelength c /f 040 m Thus, the antenna spacing d 2.0 m is exactly 5. The maximum possible intensity is on the line connecting the antennas, where r d 5 So this is a line of maximum intensity. Similarly, the line that bisects the two antennas is the r 0 line of maximum intensity. In between, in each of the four quadrants, are four lines of maximum intensity with r , 2, 3, and 4. Although we have drawn a fairly accurate picture, you do not need to know precisely where these lines are located to know that you have to cross them if you walk all the way around the antennas. Thus, you will cross 20 lines where r m and will detect 20 maxima.
21.64. Model: The changing sound intensity is due to the interference of two overlapped sound waves. Solve: Minimum intensity implies destructive interference. Destructive interference occurs where the path length

Consider a point that is a distance x in front of the top speaker. Let r1 be the distance from the top speaker to the point and r2 the distance from the bottom speaker to the point. We have r1 x r2 x2 30 m2 Destructive interference occurs at distances x such that

Because you start at x 2.5 m and walk away from the speakers, you will only hear minima for values x 2.5 m. Thus, to correct significant figures, minima will occur at distances of 3.0 m, 5.6 m, and 18 m.
21.65. Model: The changing sound intensity is due to the interference of two overlapped sound waves. Visualize: The listener moving relative to the speakers changes the phase difference between the waves.
Solve: Initially when you are at P, equidistant from the speakers, you hear a sound of maximum intensity. This implies that the two speakers are in phase ( 0 0).

Since the sources are identical, so 0 0 rad The phase difference at P due to the two waves is

(b) Since 120 06(2 ), which is neither m2π nor m 12 2 , the interference at P is somewhere in between maximum constructive and perfect destructive. (c) At a point 10 m further north we have r (800 m)2 (660 m)2 (800 m)2 (560 m)2 6058 m

condition m 12 2 with m 0 toward a constructive interference condition m(2 ) with m 1. The signal strength will therefore increase.
21.69. Model: The amplitude is determined by the interference of the three waves.
Solve: (a) We have three identical loudspeakers as sources. r between speakers 1 and 2 is 1.0 m and 2.0 m. Thus r 12 , which gives perfect destructive interference for in-phase sources. That is, the interference of the waves from loudspeakers 1 and 2 is perfect destructive, leaving only the contribution due to speaker 3. Thus the amplitude is a. (b) If loudspeaker 2 is moved to the left by one-half of a wavelength or 1.0 m, then all three waves will reach you in phase. The amplitude of the superposed waves will therefore be maximum and equal to A 3a. (c) The maximum intensity is I max CA2 9Ca 2 .

When the speed of sound inside her flute has increased due to the warming up of the air, the new frequency of the A note is 346 m/s f 445 Hz 077727 m Thus the flutist will hear beats at the following frequency: f f 445 Hz 440 Hz 5 beats/s Note that the wavelength of the A note is determined by the length of the flute rather than the temperature of air or the increased sound speed.

If v is the speed of sound and f is the sound wave’s frequency, we have v v f f 1 Y f f 1 Y v v The expression for the beat frequency is v vv 2v v v f f f 1 Y f 1 Y 2 f Y 2 Y Y v v v v (c) The answers to part (a) and (b) are the same.

21.73. Model: The frequency of the loudspeaker’s sound in the back of the pick-up truck is Doppler shifted. As the truck moves away from you, the frequency of the sound emitted by its speaker is decreased.

21.75. Model: The microphone will detect a loud sound only if there is a standing-wave resonance in the tube. The sound frequency does not change, but changing the length of the tube can create a standing wave. Solve: The standing-wave condition is v f 280 Hz m m 1,2,3, 2L where L is the total length of the tube. When the slide is extended a distance s, the tube has two straight sides, each of length s 80 cm, plus a semicircular bend of length 12 (2 r ). The radius is r 12 (10 cm) 50 cm. The tube’s total length is

Physically, the extension must be greater than 0 cm and less than 80 cm. Thus, the three slide extensions that create a standing-wave resonance at 280 Hz are 4.0, 35, and 65 cm to two significant figures.
