A tuning fork of frequency $$440 \mathrm{Hz} $$ is attached to a long string of liner mass density $$ 0.01 \mathrm{kg} \mathrm{m}^{-1} $$ kept under a tension of $$49 \mathrm{N} $$ . The fork produces transverse waves of amplitude $$0.50 \mathrm{mm} $$ on the string. (a) Find the wave speed and the wavelength of the waves. (b) Find the maximum speed and acceleration of a particle of the string. (c) At what average rate is the tuning fork transmitting energy to the string?

Solution

f=440Hz,m=0.01kg/m,T=49N,r=0.5×10−3m
(a) v=

T/m
=70m/s
(b) v=λf⇒λ=v/f=16cm
(c) Paverage=2π2mv2f2=0.67W

A train moves towards a stationary observer with speed $$34\ m/s$$. The train sounds a whistle and its frequency registered by the observer is $$f_{1}$$. If the speed of the train is reduced to $$17\ m/s$$, the frequency registered is $$f_{2}$$. If speed of sound is $$340\ m/s$$, then the ratio $$f_{1}/f_{2}$$ is__?
