Tut 14 PHYS151 2016: Chapter 16 Sound and Hearing
1. A loud factory machine produces sound having a displacement amplitude of 1.00 𝜇m, but the
frequency of this sound can be adjusted. In order to prevent ear damage to the workers, the maximum
pressure amplitude of the sound waves is limited to 10.0 Pa. Under the conditions of this factory, the
bulk modulus of air is 1.42 x105 Pa What is the highest-frequency sound to which this machine can be
adjusted without exceeding the prescribed limit? Is this frequency audible to the workers?
2. (Figure E16.7 Y & F) A submerged scuba diver hears the sound of a boat horn directly above her on
the surface of the lake. At the same time, a friend on dry land 22.0 m from the boat also hears the horn
(Fig. E16.7). The horn is 1.2 m above the surface of the water. What is the distance (labeled by “?” in
Fig. E16.7) from the horn to the diver? Both air and water are at 20°C.
3. A sound wave in air at 20°C has a frequency of 150 Hz and a displacement amplitude of 5.00 x 10-3
mm. For this sound wave calculate the (a) pressure amplitude (in Pa); (b) intensity (in W/m2); (c) sound
intensity level (in decibels).
4. A certain pipe produces a fundamental frequency of 262 Hz in air. (a) If the pipe is filled with helium
at the same temperature, what fundamental frequency does it produce? (The molar mass of air is 28.8
g/mol and the molar mass of helium is 4.00 g/mol.) (b) Does your answer to part (a) depend on whether
the pipe is open or stopped? Why or why not?
5. You have a stopped pipe of adjustable length close to a taut 85.0-cm, 7.25-g wire under a tension of
4110 N. You want to adjust the length of the pipe so that, when it produces sound at its fundamental
frequency, this sound causes the wire to vibrate in its second overtone with very large amplitude. How
long should the pipe be?
6. Two organ pipes, open at one end but closed at the other, are each 1.14 m long. One is now lengthened
by 2.00 cm. Find the frequency of the beat they produce when playing together in their fundamental.
7. A swimming duck paddles the water with its feet once every 1.6 s, producing surface waves with this
period. The duck is moving at constant speed in a pond where the speed of surface waves is 0.32 m/s
and the crests of the waves ahead of the duck are spaced 0.12 m apart. (a) What is the duck’s speed? (b)

2 2 f 2 fBA
IDENTIFY: Apply pmax  BkA. k   , so pmax  .

EXECUTE: f  max   386  103 Hz
2 BA 2 (142 105 Pa)(100  106 m)
EVALUATE: Audible frequencies range from about 20 Hz to about 20,000 Hz, so this frequency is
audible.
2. (Figure E16.7 Y & F) A submerged scuba diver hears the sound of a boat horn directly above her on
the surface of the lake. At the same time, a friend on dry land 22.0 m from the boat also hears the horn
(Fig. E16.7). The horn is 1.2 m above the surface of the water. What is the distance (labeled by “?” in
Fig. E16.7) from the horn to the diver? Both air and water are at 20°C.
IDENTIFY: d  vt for the sound waves in air and in water.

SET UP: Use vwater  1482 m/s at 20C, as given in Table 16.1. In air, v  344 m/s.
EXECUTE: Since along the path to the diver the sound travels 1.2 m in air, the sound wave travels in
water for the same time as the wave travels a distance 220 m  120 m  208m in air. The depth of
vwater 1482 m/s
the diver is (20.8 m)  (20.8 m)  89.6 m. This is the depth of the diver; the distance
vair 344 m/s
from the horn is 908 m.
EVALUATE: The time it takes the sound to travel from the horn to the person on shore is
220 m
t1   00640 s. The time it takes the sound to travel from the horn to the diver is
344 m/s
12 m 896 m
t2    00035 s  00605 s  00640 s. These times are indeed the same. For three
344 m/s 1482 m/s
figure accuracy the distance of the horn above the water can’t be neglected.
3. A sound wave in air at 20°C has a frequency of 150 Hz and a displacement amplitude of 5.00 x 10-3
mm. For this sound wave calculate the (a) pressure amplitude (in Pa); (b) intensity (in W/m2); (c) sound
intensity level (in decibels).
IDENTIFY and SET UP: Apply Eqs. (16.5), (16.11) and (16.15).

Then pmax  BkA  (142 105 Pa)(274 rad/m)(500 106 m)  195 Pa.
(b) Eq. (16.11): I  12  BkA2

lOMoARcPSD|37599245
I  12 (9425 rad/s)(142  105 Pa)(2.74 rad/m)(500  106 m)2  458  103 W/m2 .
(c) Eq. (16.15):   (10 dB)log( I/I0 ), with I0  11012 W/m2.

  (10 dB)log((458 103 W/m2 )/(11012 W/m2 ))  966 dB.
EVALUATE: Even though the displacement amplitude is very small, this is a very intense sound.
Compare the sound intensity level to the values in Table 16.2.
4. A certain pipe produces a fundamental frequency of 262 Hz in air. (a) If the pipe is filled with helium
at the same temperature, what fundamental frequency does it produce? (The molar mass of air is 28.8
g/mol and the molar mass of helium is 4.00 g/mol.) (b) Does your answer to part (a) depend on whether
the pipe is open or stopped? Why or why not?
IDENTIFY: For either type of pipe, stopped or open, the fundamental frequency is proportional to the wave speed v.
The wave speed is given in turn by Eq. (16.10).
SET UP: For He,   5/3 and for air,   7/5.

EXECUTE: (a) The fundamental frequency is proportional to the square root of the ratio , so
M
 He M air (5/3) 288
f He  fair   (262 Hz)   767 Hz.
 air M He (7/5) 400
(b) No. In either case the frequency is proportional to the speed of sound in the gas.
EVALUATE: The frequency is much higher for helium, since the rms speed is greater for helium.
5. You have a stopped pipe of adjustable length close to a taut 85.0-cm, 7.25-g wire under a tension of
4110 N. You want to adjust the length of the pipe so that, when it produces sound at its fundamental
frequency, this sound causes the wire to vibrate in its second overtone with very large amplitude. How
long should the pipe be?
IDENTIFY: The wire will vibrate in its second overtone with frequency f3wire when f3wire  f1pipe . For a

v  344 m/s.
4110 N vwire v

12vwire 12(694 m/s)
EVALUATE: The fundamental for the pipe has the same frequency as the third harmonic of the wire.
But the wave speeds for the two objects are different and the two standing waves have different
wavelengths.
Two loudspeakers, A and B, are driven by the same

amplifier and emit sinusoidal waves in phase. The frequency of the

lOMoARcPSD|37599245
waves emitted by each speaker is 172 Hz. You are 8.00 m from A.
What is the closest you can be to B and be at a point of destructive
interference?
IDENTIFY: Destructive interference occurs when the path difference is a half integer number of wavelengths.
SET UP: v  344m/s, so   v/f  (344 m/s)/(172 Hz)  2 00 m. If rA  800 m and rB are the distances

of the person from each speaker, the condition for destructive interference is rB  rA  n  12  , where 
n is any integer.
 
EXECUTE: Requiring rB  rA  n  12   0 gives n  12  rA/  0  (800 m)/(200 m)  4, so the
smallest value of rB occurs when n  4, and the closest distance to B is
 
rB  800 m  4  12 (200 m)  100 m.
EVALUATE: For rB  100 m, the path difference is rA  rB  700 m. This is 35.
6. Two organ pipes, open at one end but closed at the other, are each 1.14 m long. One is now lengthened
by 2.00 cm. Find the frequency of the beat they produce when playing together in their fundamental.

SET UP: v  344 m/s. Let La  114 m and Lb  116 m. Lb  La so f1a  f1b .
v 1 1  v( Lb  La ) (344 m/s)(200 102 m)
EXECUTE: f1a  f1b       13 Hz. There are 1.3

EVALUATE: Increasing the length of the pipe increases the wavelength of the fundamental and decreases the
frequency
7. A swimming duck paddles the water with its feet once every 1.6 s, producing surface waves with this
period. The duck is moving at constant speed in a pond where the speed of surface waves is 0.32 m/s
and the crests of the waves ahead of the duck are spaced 0.12 m apart. (a) What is the duck’s speed? (b)

IDENTIFY: The distance between crests is  . In front of the source   and behind the source
fS
v  vS
 . fS  1/T .
fS
SET UP: T  16 s. v  032 m/s. The crest to crest distance is the wavelength, so   012 m.
v  vS
EXECUTE: (a) fS  1/T  0625 Hz.   gives
fS
vS  v   fS  032 m/s  (012 m)(0625 Hz)  025 m/s.
v  vS 032 m/s  025 m/s
(b)     091 m
fS 0625 Hz
EVALUATE: If the duck was held at rest but still paddled its feet, it would produce waves of wavelength
032 m/s
  051 m. In front of the duck the wavelength is decreased and behind the duck the wavelength is
0625 Hz
increased. The speed of the duck is 78% of the wave speed, so the Doppler effects are large.

1. Alarge cylindrical tank contains 0.750 m3 of nitrogen gas at 27°C and 7.50 x 103 Pa (absolute
pressure). The tank has a tight-fitting piston that allows the volume to be changed. What will
be the pressure if the volume is decreased to 0.480 m3 and the temperature is increased to
157°C?
IDENTIFY: pV  nRT .

EVALUATE: Since the temperature increased while the volume decreased, the pressure must
have increased. In pV  nRT , T must be in kelvins, even if we use a ratio of temperatures.
2. How many moles are in a 1.00-kg bottle of water? How many molecules? The molar mass
of water is 18.0 g/mol.

3. A container with volume 1.48 L is initially evacuated. Then it is filled with 0.226 g of N2.
Assume that the pressure of the gas is low enough for the gas to obey the ideal-gas law to a
high degree of accuracy. If the root-mean-square speed of the gas molecules is 182 m s, what
is the pressure of the gas?
IDENTIFY: We can relate the temperature to the rms speed and the temperature to the pressure using
the ideal gas law. The target variable is the pressure.

EVALUATE: More heat is required for the diatomic gas; not all the heat that goes into the
gas appears as translational kinetic energy, some goes into energy of the internal motion of
the molecules (rotations).
5. For diatomic carbon dioxide gas (CO2, molar mass 44.0 g/mol) at T = 300 K, calculate (a)
