If a violin and a trumpet both play exactly the same note, why do they sound so different?
Homework Answers
A note is identified by the fundamental note that is played. But a note is actually the combination of fundamental frequency and couple of other harmonics, this combination will be different depending on the musical instrument.The violin and trumpet sounds different even though the same notes are played on both because the amplitudes of harmonics of trumpet and violin are different relative to the amplitude of their fundamental frequency. The amplitude of the harmonics relative to the fundamental frequency is what gives a musical instrument its unique sound.

You are listening to a trumpet that is playing a note at 210 Hz. You decide that this doesn’t sound quite right, and you’d rather listen to it at 228 Hz. Part a.) Which direction can you move so that the trumpet will sound like it’s playing 228 Hz? Part b.) How fast should you move in that direction? Part c.) What if you could get the trumpet to move instead (while you stay still)? What direction should the trumpet...

Two guitarists attempt to play the same note of wavelength 6.92 cm at the same time, but one of the instruments is slightly out of tune and plays a note of wavelength 6.96 cm instead. What is the frequency of the beat these musicians hear when they play together? (Speed of sound in air is 344 m/s.) Hz

A particularly beautiful note reaching your ear from a rare Stradivarius violin has a wavelength of 39.1 cm. The room is slightly warm, so the speed of sound is 344 m/s. If the string's linear density is 0.550 g/m and the tension is 140 N , how long is the vibrating section of the violin string?

A particularly beautiful note reaching your ear from a rare Stradivarius violin has a wavelength of 39.1 cm. The room is slightly warm, so the speed of sound is 344 m/s. If the string's linear density is 0.720 g/m and the tension is 140 N , how long is the vibrating section of the violin string? Note: pleae provide the answer with real mathmatical symboles, not merely keybored parenthesis and slashes.

A particularly beautiful note reaching your ear from a rare Stradivarius violin has a wavelength of 39.1 cm. The room is slightly warm, so the speed of sound is 344 m/s. If the string's linear density is 0.740 g/m and the tension is 160 N , how long is the vibrating section of the violin string? Express your answer with the appropriate units.
