    Acoustics and Sound Waves: Principles, Calculations, and Applications 1. Standing waves have regions of minimum amplitude called nodes and regions of maximum amplitude called antinodes . ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. The decibel scale is a logarithmic scale used for comparing sound levels. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3. An open organ pipe (both ends open), 16 feet long, is operating in air at 20Β°C. The fundamental frequency f1 = __________ Hz and the second harmonic frequency f2 = __________ Hz (1 ft = 0.3048 m). in a pipe open at both ends, the natural frequencies of oscillation form a harmonic series that includes all integral multiples of the fundamental frequency : 𝑓 𝑛 = 𝑛 𝑣 𝐿 𝑛 = 1 , 2 , 3 , … Therefore: 𝑓 1 = 𝑣 𝐿 = 343 ( 16 βˆ— 0 . 3948 ) = πŸ“πŸ’ . πŸ‘ 𝑯𝒛 𝑓 2 = 2 Γ— 𝑣 𝐿 = 2 Γ— 343 ( 16 βˆ— 0 . 3948 ) = πŸπŸŽπŸ— 𝑯𝒛 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4. Suppose the air is replaced by helium at 20Β°C ( v = 1005 m/s). For an open pipe (both ends open), 16 - ft in length, the new fundamental frequency f 1 = __________ Hz. 𝑓 1 = 𝑣 𝐿 = 1005 ( 16 βˆ— 0 . 3948 ) = πŸπŸ“πŸ— 𝑯𝒛 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5. In order to produce a fundamental frequency of 10 Hz in a stopped organ pipe (one end closed), the required length L = __________ m. 𝑓 1 = 𝑣 𝐿 = = > 𝐿 = 𝑣 𝑓 1 = 343 10 = πŸ‘πŸ’ . πŸ‘ π’Ž
