Halliday, Resnick & Walker — Waves–II: Problem 62

Figure 17.19 shows four tubes with lengths 1.0 m or 2.0 m, with one or two open ends as drawn. The third harmonic is set up in each tube, and some of the sound that escapes from them is detected by detector $D$, which moves directly away from the tubes. In terms of the speed of sound $v$, what speed must the detector have such that the detected frequency of the sound from (a) tube 1, (b) tube 2, (c) tube 3, and (d) tube 4 is equal to the tube’s fundamental frequency?

📝 Solution Approach

Given: 1.0 m, 2.0 m, . In

Find: (a) tube 1; (b) tube 2; (c) tube 3
