A tube is open only at one end. A certain harmonic produced by the tube has a frequency of 571 Hz. The next higher harmonic has

a frequency of 799 Hz. The speed of sound in air is 343 m/s. (a) What is the integer n that describes the harmonic whose frequency is 571 Hz? (b) What is the length of the tube?
B. A person hums into the top of a well (tube open at only one end) and finds that standing waves are established at frequencies of 36.1, 60.2, and 84.2 Hz. The frequency of 36.1 Hz is not necessarily the fundamental frequency. The speed of sound is 343 m/s. How deep is the well?

Answer:

The answers to the question are

(a) The integer n that describes the harmonic whose frequency is 571 Hz is 5

(b) The length of the tube is 0.75 m.

B. The depth of the well is 7.12 m.

Explanation:

The nth harmonic of a tube with one end closed is given by

f_n = n(\frac{v}{4L}) and the next harmonic is

f_{n+2} =(n+2)(\frac{v}{4L} )

Therefore ividing the first two equations by each other we have

\frac{f_{n+2}}{f_n} = \frac{n+2}{n} from which n = \frac{2}{\frac{f_{n+2}}{f_n} -1}

Therefore the interger that descries the first harmonic is

n = \frac{2}{\frac{799}{571} -1} = 5

(b) We have the length of the pipe given by

L = 5λ/4 but λ = v/f = 343/571 = 0.6 ∴ L  = 5*0.6/4 = 0.75 m

B. From n = \frac{2}{\frac{f_{n+2}}{f_n} -1} we have

n for the 36.1 Hz frequency

n = \frac{2}{\frac{60.2}{36.1} -1} = 3 Therefore λ = v/f = 343/36.1 = 9.5 m

L = 3*λ/4 = 3*9.5/4 = 7.12 m

The well is  7.12 m deep

Explain what each quantum number in a quantum number set tells you about the electron. Compare and contrast the locations and pr
Allisa [31]
There are four quantum numbers:
1) Principal quantum number which tells the shell in which the electron is and is an integer number starting from 1. Both of these electrons are in the same shell, the third.

2) Azimuthal quantum number which tells the subshell of the electron. This has a value of an integer starting from 0, 0 being the s orbital. The first electron is in the d orbital due to the number being 2 and the second is in the p orbital due to the number being 1.

3) Magnetic quantum number tells the orbital within the subshell. The first electron is in the -1 orbital of the d subshell (which has values from -2 to 2) and the second is in the -1 orbital of the p subshell (which has values from -1 to 1).

4) Spin quantum number which specifies the spin on the electron, both of the electrons have the same spin.
