The chamber is now filled with a gas that has an unknown speed of sound. The students find that the lowest frequency at which they can hear a maximum in the sound level is 200 Hz. If the students slowly increase the frequency, what is the next frequency at which the sensor would measure a maximum in the sound level

Respuesta :

If the fundamental frequency or first harmonic of the sound is 200 Hz, the next frequency will be third harmonic and it is 600 Hz.

Fundamental frequency of a closed pipe

This is the lowest frequency at which a maximum in the sound level can be heard.

First harmonic of a closed pipe, f₀ = v/4L

Third harmonic of a closed pipe, f₃ = 3v/4L = 3f₀

If the fundamental frequency or first harmonic of the sound is 200 Hz, the next frequency will be third harmonic and it is calculated as follows;

f₃ = 3f₀ = 3(200 Hz)

f₃ = 600 Hz

The complete question is below:

Students use a speaker connected to a sine wave generator to project sound waves into the open left end of a tube that is closed on the right end. The speaker is very close to the tube. A sensor is used to measure the pressure differences created by the sound and the results are displayed on a computer. The entire apparatus is in a sealed chamber that can be filled with different gases.

The chamber is now filled with a gas that has an unknown speed of sound. The students find that the lowest frequency at which they can hear a maximum in the sound level is 200 Hz. If the students slowly increase the frequency, what is the next frequency at which the sensor would measure a maximum in the sound level
