A string under tension has a fundamental frequency of 220 Hz. What is the fundamental frequency if the tension is doubled?

검증된 단계별 안내

The fundamental frequency of a string under tension is given by the formula:

f = \frac{1}{2} l \sqrt{\frac{T}{ρ}}

, where

f

is the fundamental frequency,

l

is the length of the string,

T

is the tension, and

ρ

is the linear mass density of the string.

Notice that the length

l

and the linear mass density

ρ

remain constant in this problem. Therefore, the fundamental frequency depends on the square root of the tension:

f \propto \sqrt{T}

If the tension is doubled, the new tension becomes

T' = 2 T

. Substituting this into the proportionality, the new frequency

f'

is related to the original frequency

f

by:

\frac{f}{'} = \sqrt{\frac{T}{'}}

Simplify the ratio of tensions:

\frac{T}{'} = 2

. Therefore,

\frac{f}{'} = \sqrt{2}

, which means the new frequency is

f' = f \sqrt{2}

Finally, substitute the given fundamental frequency of 220 Hz into the equation:

f' = 220 \sqrt{2}

. This gives the new fundamental frequency.

질문에 올바르게 답하기 위해 반드시 이해해야 하는 핵심 개념들은 다음과 같습니다.

Fundamental Frequency

The fundamental frequency is the lowest frequency at which a system oscillates. In the context of a vibrating string, it is determined by the string's length, tension, and mass per unit length. This frequency is crucial for understanding how strings produce sound, as it corresponds to the pitch of the note played.

Tension in a String

Tension refers to the force applied along the length of a string, which affects its vibration characteristics. Increasing the tension in a string raises its fundamental frequency, as a tighter string vibrates faster. This relationship is essential for predicting how changes in tension will influence the sound produced by the string.

Relationship Between Tension and Frequency

The relationship between tension and frequency in a vibrating string is described by the formula f = (1/2L)√(T/μ), where f is the frequency, L is the length of the string, T is the tension, and μ is the mass per unit length. Doubling the tension results in an increase in frequency, specifically, the frequency increases by a factor of √2, illustrating how tension directly influences the pitch of the sound produced.

BIO Deep-sea divers often breathe a mixture of helium and oxygen to avoid getting the 'bends' from breathing high-pressure nitrogen. The helium has the side effect of making the divers' voices sound odd. Although your vocal tract can be roughly described as an open-closed tube, the way you hold your mouth and position your lips greatly affects the standing-wave frequencies of the vocal tract. This is what allows different vowels to sound different. The 'ee' sound is made by shaping your vocal tract to have standing-wave frequencies at, normally, 270 Hz and 2300 Hz. What will these frequencies be for a helium-oxygen mixture in which the speed of sound at body temperature is 750m/s ? The speed of sound in air at body temperature is 350m/s .

In a laboratory experiment, one end of a horizontal string is tied to a support while the other end passes over a frictionless pulley and is tied to a 1.5 kg sphere. Students determine the frequencies of standing waves on the horizontal segment of the string, then they raise a beaker of water until the hanging 1.5 kg sphere is completely submerged. The frequency of the fifth harmonic with the sphere submerged exactly matches the frequency of the third harmonic before the sphere was submerged. What is the diameter of the sphere?
