Solution

(i) The frequency of the sound wave remains unchanged as it passes from water into wood. [1]

(ii) The wavelength of the sound wave decreases as it enters the wood, since the speed of sound is greater in wood compared to water. [1]

(d) On Fig. 6.1, sketch the positions in the wood of the three incomplete rarefactions. [2]

A device at the bottom of the sea emits a sound wave of frequency 200 Hz.(i) The speed of sound in sea-water is 1500 m / s.Calculate the wavelength of the sound in sea-water.

The speed of sound is dierent in dierent media. For example, in water it is ~1500 m/s. Draw a model to explain why sound propagates faster in water. Based upon your model, predict whether or not the speed of sound would be faster or slower through a wooden door than water.

A drum is struck, producing a wave with a wavelength of 1.10 meters and a speed of 343 m/s. What is the frequency of the wave? 3. Sonar is a device that uses reflected sound waves to measure underwater depths. If a sonar signal has a frequency of 288 Hz and the speed of sound in water is 1,498 m/s, what is the wavelength of the sonar signal? 4. A dog whistle is designed to produce a sound with a frequency beyond that which can be heard by humans. If a particular whistle produces a sound with a frequency of 2.5x10 4Hz, what is the sound’s wavelength? Assume the speed of sound in air is 343 m/s. Electromagnetic Waves: 5. [Radio waves] A certain FM radio station broadcasts electromagnetic waves at a frequency of 9.05x10 7Hz. These radio waves travel at a speed of 3x10 8m/s. What is the wavelength of these radio waves? 6. [Visible light] A student asks your physics teacher what his favorite color is. Your teacher provides the following straightforward and understandable response: “The wavelength of light that corresponds with my favorite color is 623 nanometers”. Use the speed of light to calculate the frequency that corresponds to this wavelength. 7.
