Effect of Liquid Level on Standing Wave Frequency in a Soda Bottle

AI Thread Summary
Drinking more soda from a partially filled bottle affects the standing wave frequency produced when blowing across the neck. As the liquid level decreases, the frequency of the sound produced decreases, leading to a lower pitch. This is due to the relationship between frequency and wavelength; as the volume of air above the liquid increases, the wavelength also increases. Consequently, the pitch of the sound will decrease as more soda is consumed. Understanding these principles clarifies how liquid levels impact sound production in a soda bottle.

A partially empty soda bottle will produce standing waves in the air above the liquid if you blow across the neck of the bottle. There will be a displacement antinode at the neck and a node at the surface of the soda. What happens if you drink more soda and repeat the experiment?

a) no change in the sound produced
b) frequency of the sound will increase
c) frequency of the sound will decrease
d) wavelenth of the sound will increase
e) wavelength of the sound will decrease
f) pitch of the sound will increase
g) pitch of the sound will decrease

Which one and why??
I figure the mass in the bottle will decrease so that might affect it, maybe the wavelength will increase & frequency decrease, not sure about the pitch... actually not sure of any of this. Please help!

What happens with the air (wavelength) when you drink more soda? Mass of the soda doesn't have anything to do with it.
 
You're on the right lines..

If I were to tell you that the higher the frequency of the wave then the higher resulting pitch, would that help?
 
I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
