Short Answer

You are given two wind instruments of identical length. One is open at both ends, whereas the other is closed at one end. Which is able to produce

the lowest frequency?

A wind instrument that is closed at one end will produce the lowest frequency

See the step by step solution

Step by Step Solution

TABLE OF CONTENTS :
TABLE OF CONTENTS

Step 1:   Frequency for one side closed instrument

Fundamental frequency for one side closed instrument given as

f=v4L

Here f,v,L represents frequency, the velocity of the sound wave, and the length of the instrument

Step 2: Frequency for both sides of the open instrument

Fundamental frequency for two sides opened instrument given as

f=v2L

Here f,v,L represents frequency, the velocity of the sound wave, and the length of the instrument

Step 3: Conclusion

We can see that frequency of one side closed instrument will be the lowest.

What frequency is received by a mouse just before being dispatched by a hawk flying at it at \(25.0\;{\rm{m/s}}\)and emitting a screech of frequency\({\rm{3500}}\;{\rm{Hz}}\)? Take the speed of sound to be\(331\;{\rm{m/s}}\).

Can you perceive the shift in frequency produced when you pull a tuning fork toward you at \({\rm{10}}{\rm{.0}}\;{\rm{m/s}}\) on a day when the speed of sound is \({\rm{344}}\;{\rm{m/s}}\)? To answer this question, calculate the factor by which the frequency shifts and see if it is greater than \({\rm{0}}{\rm{.300\% }}\).

Question: (a) What is the intensity of a sound that has a level \(7.00\;{\rm{dB}}\) lower than a\(4.00 \times {10^{ - 9}}\;{\rm{W/}}{{\rm{m}}^{\rm{2}}}\)sound? (b) What is the intensity of a sound that is \(3.00\;{\rm{dB}}\)higher than a \(4.00 \times {10^{ - 9}}\;{\rm{W/}}{{\rm{m}}^{\rm{2}}}\)sound?

Loudspeakers can produce intense sounds with surprisingly small energy input in spite of their low efficiencies. Calculate the power input needed to produce a \(90.0\;{\rm{dB}}\) sound intensity level for a \({\rm{12}}{\rm{.0}}\;{\rm{cm}}\)diameter speaker that has an efficiency of \(1.00\% \). (This value is the sound intensity level right at the speaker.)

Sound is more effectively transmitted into a stethoscope by direct contact than through the air, and it is further intensified by being concentrated on the smaller area of the eardrum. It is reasonable to assume that sound is transmitted into a stethoscope \(100\) times as effectively compared with transmission though the air. What, then, is the gain in decibels produced by a stethoscope that has a sound gathering area of\(15.0\;{\rm{c}}{{\rm{m}}^{\rm{2}}}\), and concentrates the sound onto two eardrums with a total area of \(0.900\;{\rm{c}}{{\rm{m}}^{\rm{2}}}\)with an efficiency of\(40.0\% \)?
