12.Provided that the amplitude is sufficiently great, the human ear can respond to
longitudinal waves over a range of frequencies from about 30.0 Hz to about
30.000Hz.
a. Compute the wavelength corresponding to f =30Hz for waves in air (v = 344
m/s)
b. Compute the wavelength corresponding to f = 30.000 Hz for waves in air (v
= 344 m/s).
c. Compute the wavelength corresponding to 30 Hz for waves in water (v =
1480 m/s).
d. Compute the wavelength corresponding to 30.000 Hz for waves in water (v
= 1480 m/s).
13.A sound wave produced by a clock chime is heard 525 m away 1.50 s later
a. What is the speed of sound of the clocks chime in air?
b. The sound wave has a frequency of 452 Hz. What is the period of the wave?

14.A hiker shouts toward a vertical cliff 485 m away. The echo is heard 2.5 s later
a. What is the speed of sound of the hikers voice in air?
b. The wavelength of the sound is 0.750 m. What is its frequency?
c. What is the period of the wave?
15.Transverse (sinusoidal) waves on a string have wave speed v = 4.00m/s,
amplitude A = 0.0600m, and wavelength = 0.320m. The waves travel in the -x
direction, and at t = 0 the x = 0 end of the string has its maximum upward
displacement.
a. Find the frequency of these waves.
b. Find the period of these waves.
c. Find the wave number of these waves.
