The concept used to solve this problem is beat frequency.
Use the expression for beat frequency to find the initial frequency of the flute player.
Beat can be defined as “the interference pattern between two sounds of slightly different frequencies”.
The expression for the beat frequency is,
Here, beat frequency is , final frequency is , and initial frequency is .
The expression for the beat frequency is,
Rearrange the above expression for .
The expression for the initial frequency is,
Substitute for and for .
Therefore, the initial frequency is .
Ans:The initial frequency of the flute player is .
A flute player hears four beats per second when she compares her note to a 523...
A flutist assembles her flute in a room where the speed of sound is 342 m/s . When she plays the note A, it is in perfect tune with a 440 Hz tuning fork. After a few minutes, the air inside her flute has warmed to where the speed of sound is 343 m/s. How many beats per second will she hear if she now plays the note A as the tuning fork is sounded? How far does she need...
A clarinet player hears the warbling of beats twice per second. When trying to play in tune with the nest of the orchestra she finds that by lowering her frequency, she is in true with everyone else at 440 . What was the clarinet player's initial frequency? 2 children and riding on a marry-go-round. The 1st child sits at the edge of the merry-go-round, the 2nd child sits halfway between the edge and the center. Which of the following is...
Jennifer is using a tuning fork to tune her fifth guitar string, which should be at a frequency of 110 Hz, or note A2 in music terms. When she rings the tuning fork and plucks her guitar string, she hears 8 beats/s. Note: parts (a) and (b) require absolute accuracy. Your answer must be exactly correct-not just within 5% (a) What are the two possible frequencies of Jennifer's guitar string? fmAx Number Units Number Units min (b) When Jennifer loosens...

While attempting to tune the note C at 131 Hz, a piano tuner hears 5.00 beats/s between a reference oscillator and the string. (a) What are the possible frequencies of the string? (Give the frequencies to the nearest integer.) lower possible frequency Hz higher possible frequency Hz (b) When she tightens the string slightly, she hears 6.00 beats/s. What is the frequency of the string now? (Give the frequency to the nearest integer.) Hz (c) By what percentage should the...
A tuning fork with a frequency of 440Hz produces 4 beats per second when sounded together with a violin string. What was the original frequency of the string if a slight increase in tension produces fewer beats per second than before?
A violinist tuning a string on her instrument to a tuning fork of 440 Hz detects 4 beats per second. When she loosens the string (which de- creases the frequency of the sound produced by the string), the number of beats per second initially goes down, but as she continues to loosen the string, the number of beats per second starts to increase. The fre- quency of the sound produced by the string on her violin before she started loosening...
I need help with this 4 problems. I'll appreciate if you can do them. Thank you!! 2. Two tuning forks are producing sounds of wavelength 34.12 cm and 33.94 cm simultaneously. How many beats do you hear each second? 3. A violinist is tuning her instrument to concert A (440.0 Hz). She plays the note while listening to an electronically generated tone of exactly 440.0 Hz and hears 3.000 beats a second. What two possible frequencies could be coming from...
A musician in a concert hall is tuning her wind instrument. When she plays a short note she hears the echo of the note return from the opposite side of the 50.0 meter long auditorium 0.294 seconds later. Model the instrument as a tube closed at one end, if the instrument is properly tuned the note of the musician played would have a frequency of 233.082 Hz, but instead has a frequency of 226.513 Hz. This note is the first...
