1-2. A thin 75.0-cm wire has a mass of 16.5g. One end is tied to a nail and the other end is attached to a screw that can
be adjusted to vary the tension in the wire.
1. To what tension (in newtons) must you adjust the screw so that a transverse wave of wavelength 3.33cm
makes 875 vibrations per second?
v f (875Hz)(3.33x10 2 m) 29.1m / s
m 0.0165 kg
v f (875Hz)(3.33x10 2 m) 29.1m / s
3-4. A piano with mass 3.00g and length 80.0cm is stretched with a tension of 25.0N. A wave with frequency 120.0Hz
and amplitude 1.6mm travels along the wire.
3. Calculate the average power carried by the wave.

5-6. Two trains whistles, A and B, each have a frequency of 392Hz. A is stationary and B is moving toward
the right (away from A) at a speed of 35.0m/s. A listener is between the two whisles and is moving toward
the right with the speed 15.0m/s. No wind is blowing.
v vS
The distance between whistle A and the listener is increasing, and for whisle A; fL<fS.
6. What is the frequency from B heard by the listener?
vS = +35.0m/s; vL = +15.0m/s.

7-9. One string of a certain musical instrument is 75.0cm long and has a mass of 8.75g. It is being played in
a room where the speed of sound is 344m/s.
7. What is the frequency and speed of the waves on the string so that when vibrating in its second
overtone, it produces sound wavelenght 3.35cm?

10-11. Light is a wave, but not mechanical wave. The quantities that oscillate are electric and magnetic fields. Light
visible to humans has wavelengths between 400nm (violet) and 700nm (red), and all travels through vacuum at speed
c = 3.00x108m/s.
