Which instrument produces the sound of a single frequency?

1 answer:

6 0

NO musical instrument produces a 'pure' tone with only a
single frequency in it.

EVERY instrument produces more or less harmonics (multiples)
in addition to the basic frequency it's playing.

The percussion instruments (drums etc) are the richest producers
of bunches of different frequencies.

Fuzzy electric guitars are next richest.

The strings and brass instruments are moderate producers of
harmonics ... I can't remember which is greater than the other.

Then come the woodwinds ... clarinet, oboe, etc.

The closest to 'pure' tones of single frequency are the sounds
made by the flute and piccolo, but even these are far from 'pure'.

The only way to get a true single-frequency sound is from an
electronic 'sine wave' generator.

Two identical blocks, block A and block B, are placed on different horizontal surfaces. Block A is initially at rest on a smooth

Nostrana [21]

Answer:

(D) Va > Vb. The forces between the atoms in a block and the atoms in a surface oppose the motion of the block and are greater on average for block B.

Explanation:

Given that, Two identical blocks, block A and block B, are placed on different horizontal surfaces. Block A is initially at rest on a smooth surface, while block B is initially at rest on a rough surface.

And now, a constant force F₀ is exerted on each block for a time Δt.

Now, speeds of blocks A and B are vA and vB respectively.

In case of block A the surface is smooth, so there is no opposing force.

Whereas as, in case of block B, the surface is rough which means friction opposes the motion

So, some of the applied force is used to overcome this friction which makes the speed of block B vB to be less than that of block A vA.

⇒ Va > Vb.

And completely eliminating friction is not possible.

so, even smooth surface has friction which is very very little.

so, The forces between the atoms in a block and the atoms in a surface oppose the motion of the block and are greater on average for block B.

You're outside on a cold day (Tout = 0 °C)listening to your iPod with an external circular speaker having a diameter 0.0550 m. B

JulijaS [17]

1). The change would be due to the expansion of the speaker, so we need to know what substances comprise the speaker. #2). A speaker with a diameter of 0.055m is not too good at reproducing 8.54 KHz. (3). I believe this is a bogus question.
