The flute is typically about 26 inches long and as we have seen this week it is an open tube at both ends. There are holes that are closed or opened by fingering and valves that change their effective length, and the pattern and mechanisms to do this set various designs of flutes played now and in the past. Assume that the velocity of sound in warm moist air is 340 m/s. 1. Take a bottle with a narrow opening that had your favorite beverage in it, and when it is empty blow across the top of the bottle. Now add some water so that the bottom of the bottle is covered and the air space is less with the bottle still vertical. Blow on that across the top. Does the pitch (frequency) of the resonant sound increase or decrease? You can try it yourself, and then explain what you found.

A tuning fork is held a certain distance from your ears and struck. Your eardrums’ vibrations after t seconds are given by p = 3 sin 2t. When a second tuning fork is struck, the formula p = 2sin(2t + π) describes the effects of the sound on the eardrums’ vibrations. The total vibrations are given by p = 3 sin 2t + 2 sin(2t + π). Solve, a. Simplify p to a single term containing the sine. b. If the amplitude of p is zero, no sound is heard. Based on your equation in part (a), does this occur with the two tuning forks in this exercise? Explain your answer.

Tube Tuning Fork A tuning fork vibrating at 512HZ is held near one end of a tube of length L that is open at both ends, as shown above. The column of air in the tube resonates at its fundamental frequency. The speed of sound in air is 340m/s. (a) Calculate the length L of the tube. (b) The column of air in the tube is still resonating at its fundamental frequency. Copy the axes below on to your own paper, and then sketch a graph of the maximum speed of air molecules as they oscillate in the tube, as a function of position x, from x-0 (left end of tube) to x=L (right end of tube). (Ignore random thermal motion of the air molecules.) Hint, you are essentially mapping out where the node(s) are. L/4 L/2 3L/4 M DELL Maximum Particle Speed

There are holes that are closed or opened by fingering and valves that change their effective length, and the pattern and mechanisms to do this set various designs of flutes played now and in the past. Assume that the velocity of sound in warm moist air is 340 m/s. 1. A flute player can also create higher frequencies by generating harmonics of the fundamental. With no holes open, by blowing harder on it, vibrations with shorter wavelengths will resonate in the tube. Again, thinking of the physics as a tube open at both ends without open holes otherwise, the fundamental has a wavelength that is twice the length of the tube. What are the wavelengths of the first and second harmonics? Explain how you figured that out. 2.Take a bottle with a narrow opening that had your favorite beverage in it, and when it is empty blow across the top of the bottle. Now add some water so that…
