Low-frequency moaning sound is produced

Reference no: EM13679764

Sometimes, when the wind blows across a long wire, a low-frequency "moaning" sound is produced. This sound arises because a standing wave is set up on the wire, like a standing wave on a guitar string. Suppose that a wire (linear density = 0.0140 kg/m) sustains a tension of 39.6 N because the wire is stretched among two poles that are 6.65 m apart. The lowest frequency that an average, healthy human ear can detect is 20.0 Hz. What is the lowest harmonic number n that could be responsible for the "moaning" sound?

Decide the frequency of the sound coming from the speakers : A listener is standing in front of two speakers that are producing sound of the same frequency and amplitude, except that they are vibrating out of phase. Initially, the distance among the listener and each speaker is the same (see the drawing).

Speed-stationary source of sound and hear a frequency : You are riding your bicycle directly away from a stationary source of sound and hear a frequency that is 2.6% lower than the emitted frequency. If the speed of sound is 342 m/s, what is your speed?
