In music, middle C has a frequency of about 256 Hz - the precise frequency depends on the tuning scheme.

a)How does the wavelength of a middle C note propagating through air compare to the size of a typical human body?

b)How does the wavelength of the same note propagating through water compare to the human body?

c)What frequency of sound in air has a wavelength nearly the size of a human head?

You can sometimes hear a low-frequency “moaning” noise when strong winds blow through power lines strung between two poles. The wind is exciting a particular standing wave mode on the wire between its fixed ends at the poles; in this example, the wire is observed to have the shape shown in the diagram below at a particular instant in time. (a) If, for this mode (or harmonic), the frequency you hear is 20 Hz (near the lower threshold of human...
