  1. 1) Jimmy and Jenny are floating on a quiet river using giant doughnut-shaped tubes. At one point, they are 5.0 m apart when a speed boat passes. After the boat passes, they begin bobbing up and down at a frequency of 0.25 Hz. Just as Jenny reaches her highest level, Jimmy is at his lowest level. As it happens, Jenny and Jimmy are always within one wavelength. What is the speed of these waves? a) 1.3 m/s b) 2.5 m/s c) 3.8 m/s d) 5.0 m/s e) 7.5 m/s

  2. 2) A sound wave is being emitted from a speaker with a frequency f and an amplitude A. The sound waves travel at a constant speed of 343 m/s in air. Which one of the following actions would reduce the wavelength of the sound waves to one half of their initial value? a) increase the frequency to 2f b) increase the amplitude to 2A c) decrease the frequency to f /4 d) decrease the frequency to f /2 e) decrease the amplitude to A /2

  3. 3) A particle of dust is floating in the air approximately one half meter in front of a speaker. The speaker is then turned on and produces a constant pure tone as shown. The sound waves produced by the speaker travel horizontally. Which one of the following statements correctly describes the subsequent motion of the dust particle, if any? a) The particle of dust will oscillate left and right with a frequency of 226 Hz. b) The particle of dust will oscillate up and down with a frequency of 226 Hz. c) The particle of dust will be accelerated toward the right and continue moving in that direction. d) The particle of dust will move toward the right at a constant velocity. e) The dust particle will remain motionless as it cannot be affected by sound waves.

  4. 4) In a classroom demonstration, a physics professor breathes in a small amount of helium and begins to talk. The result is that the professor’s normally low, baritone voice sounds quite high pitched. Which one of the following statements best describes this phenomena? a) The presence of helium changes the speed of sound in the air in the room, causing all sounds to have higher frequencies. b) The professor played a trick on the class by tightening his vocal cords to produce higher frequencies in his throat and mouth than normal. The helium was only a distraction and had nothing to do with it. c) The helium significantly alters the vocal chords causing the wavelength of the sounds generated to decrease and thus the frequencies increase. d) The wavelength of the sound generated in the professor’s throat and mouth is only changed slightly, but since the speed of sound in helium is approximately 2.5 times larger than in air, the frequencies generated are about 2.5 times higher.

  5. 5) Natalie is a distance d in front of a speaker emitting sound waves. She then moves to a position that is a distance 2d in front of the speaker. By what factor does the sound intensity change? a) 4 b) 2 c) 1/2 d) 1/4 e) The sound intensity remains constant because it is not dependent on the distance.
