Homework Statement


A closed tube filled with air is 50cm long.
a. what is the length of an open tube that has the same fundamental frequency? 100cm (34,500cm/s^2 / 2(100cm)
b. what is the frequency? 172.5 (34,500cm/s^2 / 4 (50cm)

I got these two but, need help on this:
c. These two tubes are placed in a gas with a speed of sound grteater than the sound in air. Do the frequencies of their fundamentals remain equal to each other?
d. Do they increase or decrease?

Homework Equations



v/2L (fundamental frequency of the first harmonic, open tube)
v/4L (fundamental frequency of the first harmonic, closed tube)

L = length of tube

The Attempt at a Solution

By CLOSED tube in all these problems - it means closed on ONE SIDE only.

So, tell us. What is 'v' in the equations you have written?
 

Thread 'Initial conditions for orbits around a wormhole'

Hi, I had an exam and I completely messed up a problem. Especially one part which was necessary for the rest of the problem. Basically, I have a wormhole metric: $$(ds)^2 = -(dt)^2 + (dr)^2 + (r^2 + b^2)( (d\theta)^2 + sin^2 \theta (d\phi)^2 )$$ Where ##b=1## with an orbit only in the equatorial plane. We also know from the question that the orbit must satisfy this relationship: $$\varepsilon = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{dr}{d\tau})^2 + V_{eff}(r)$$ Ultimately, I was tasked to find the initial...

Thread 'Help to convert units of a simple formula'

The value of H equals ## 10^{3}## in natural units, According to : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_units, ## t \sim 10^{-21} sec = 10^{21} Hz ##, and since ## \text{GeV} \sim 10^{24} \text{Hz } ##, ## GeV \sim 10^{24} \times 10^{-21} = 10^3 ## in natural units. So is this conversion correct? Also in the above formula, can I convert H to that natural units , since it’s a constant, while keeping k in Hz ?
