Question
Answered step-by-step
A dramatic demonstration, called singing rods, involves a long, slender aluminum rod held in the hand near the rod's midpoint. The rod is stroked with the other hand. With a little practice, the rod can be made to sing, or emit a clear, loud, ringing sound. For a $75-\mathrm{cm}$ -cm-long rod, $(a)$ what isthe fundamental frequency of the sound? (b) What is its wavelength in the rod, and (c) what is the wavelength of the sound in air at $20^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ ?

In physics, sound is a vibration that typically propagates as an audible wave of pressure, through a transmission medium such as a gas, liquid or solid. In human physiology and psychology, sound is the reception of such waves and their perception by the brain. Humans can only hear sound waves as distinct pitches when the frequency lies between about 20 Hz and 20 kHz. Sound above 20 kHz is known as ultrasound and has different physical properties from sound below 20 kHz. Sound waves below 20 Hz are called infrasound. Different species have different hearing ranges. In terms of frequency, the range of ultrasound, infrasound and other upper limits is called the ultrasound.

In physics, a traveling wave is a wave that propogates without a constant shape, but rather one that changes shape as it moves. In other words, its shape changes as a function of time.

in part, they were asked to find a fundamental frequency off the road. Fundamental frequency off road. His written days sound the speed off the wheel or the lambda. Ah, Lambda is the prevalent. When there we have a residence, Waveland. Then the lambda is equal to twice the length off the road. So, um, the speed is 51 00 looking in table for l'm union, then, um, the length is to well is 1.5, Then the our fundamental frequency will be 34 Double zero hurts 3400 hards herds in part B. Um, we were asked to find the length off road, which we already found it here, actually, which is Ah, the Lambda. Sorry, the Lambda off the sound in the road. So the lambda we already found here, which is a call to well, that is equal to, um 1.5 1.5 meters in part C were asked to find the Lambda. And there's leme Dine. There will be the last t off a sound in the air or the frequency we got that is equal to the tree for zero 343 story over the frequency, which is a 3400 hertz 400 yards. And this gives us the Lambda in air is 0.14 meters. End off the problem. Thank you for watching.
