Question

Provided the amplitude is sufficiently great, the human ear can respond to longitudinal waves over a range of frequencies from about 20.0 { m Hz} to about 20.0 { m kHz}.

a)If you were to mark the beginning of each complete wave pattern with a red dot for the long-wavelength sound, how far apart would the red dots be?

b)If you were to mark the beginning of each complete wave pattern with a blue dot for the short-wavelength sound, how far apart would the blue dots be?

c)In reality would adjacent red dots be far enough apart for you to easily measure their separation with a meterstick?

d)In reality would adjacent blue dots be far enough apart for you to easily measure their separation with a meterstick?

e)Suppose you repeated part A in water, where sound travels at 1480 { m{ m/s}}. How far apart would the red dots be ?

f)Suppose you repeated part A in water, where sound travels at 1480 { m{ m/s}}. How far apart would the blue dots be ?

g)Could you readily measure their separation with a meterstick?
