Question

experiments regarding the speed of sound in a container full Pat has been of a mixture of gasses. The length of the long, cylindrical container is 1.50 m. Answer the thvee questions below with three significant figures. Part A During a time-of-flight experiment, Pat deterrnines that it takes a pulse of sound 0.0052 s to travel the full length of the cylinder. What is the speed of sound in the cylinder? Number m/s Part B Suppose that Pat sends a sound with a frequency of 4.00x102 Hz down the the wavelength of that sound? Number Part C For Pat's last experiment, it is necessary to create a standing wave with three antinodes. (Note: the container is closed at both ends.) What frequency of should Pat use to create such a standing wave? Number

Explanation / Answer

a)

Velocity, v= 1.5/0.0052= 288.46 m/s

======

b)

Lambda= v/f= 288.46/400= 0.721 m

=====

c)

As per the standing wave condition

3*(lambda'/2)= L

Lambda'= 1.5*2/3= 1 m

Frequency corresponding to this wavelength

f'= v/lambda'= 288.46/1= 288.46 Hz

=======

Goodluck
