"In a sound wave, a displacement node is a pressure antinode and vice versa'. Why?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To understand why in a sound wave a displacement node is a pressure antinode and vice versa, we can break down the concepts of displacement, pressure, nodes, and antinodes step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Nodes and Antinodes**: - A **node** is a point in a standing wave where the displacement of the medium is at a minimum (zero). In sound waves, this means that the particles of the medium do not move from their equilibrium position at these points. - An **antinode** is a point where the displacement is at a maximum. This is where the particles of the medium oscillate with the greatest amplitude. ...

Explain why (or how) : (a) In a sound wave, a displacement node is a pressure antinode and vice-versa, (b) Bats can ascertain distances, directions, nature and size of obstacles without any eyes, (c) a violin note and sitar note may have the same frequency, yet we can distinguish between the two notes, (d) Solids can support both longitudinal and transverse waves, but only longitudinal waves can propagate in gases, (e) The shape of pulse gets distorted during propagation in a dispersive medium.

(A): In a longitudinal stationary wave a displacement node coincides with a pressure anti node. (R): Restoring force is maximum at node and minimum at anti node.

S_(1) : Source and observer both are stationary and wind is blowing in a direction from source to observer then observer detects an apparent increase in frequency. S_(2) : Beat frequency is defined as the difference of frequency of two sources. S_(3) : Pressure node is always a displacement node and pressure antinode is always a displacement antinode.

Standing sound waves are produced in a pipe that is 0.8 m long, open at one end, and closed at th other. For the fundamental and first two overtone, where along the pipe (measured from the closed end) are (a) the displacemental antinodes (b) the pressure antinodes.
