Suppose that the range of output frequencies is from 89.2 hz to 13.9 khz for a pipe organ. take 343 m/s for the speed of sound. (a) what is the length (in units of m) of the longest pipe open at both ends and producing sound at its fundamental frequency? (b) what is the length (in units of m) of the shortest pipe open at both ends and producing sound at its fundamental frequency?

a) L = 1,923 m , b) L = 0.012 m

Explanation:

This is a resonance problem, if the tube is open at both ends it has a

a maximum in each one, the waves must fulfill the relationship

          λ = 2L / n

Where n is an integer and L the length of the tube

Let's use the ratio of the speed of sound

        v = λ f

        v = 2L f / n

        L = v/2f     n

The fundamental frequency corresponds to n = 1

        L = v / 2f

a) for the smallest frequency

f = 89.2 Hz

        L = 343 / (2 89.2)

        L = 1,923 m

b) for the highest frequency

f = 13.9 kHz = 13.9 10³ Hz

        L = 343 / (2 13.9 10³)

        L = 12.338 10⁻³ m

        L = 0.012 m

electromagnetic shielding is the practice of reducing the electromagnetic field in a space by blocking the field with barriers made of conductive or magnetic materials. shielding is typically applied to enclosures to isolate electrical devices from their surroundings, and to cables to isolate wires from the environment through which the cable runs. electromagnetic shielding that blocks radio frequency electromagnetic radiation is also known as rf shielding.

the shielding can reduce the coupling of radio waves, electromagnetic fields and electrostatic fields. a conductive enclosure used to block electrostatic fields is also known as a faraday cage. the amount of reduction depends very much upon the material used, its thickness, the size of the shielded volume and the frequency of the fields of interest and the size, shape and orientation of apertures in a shield to an incident electromagnetic
