A
680m
B
170m
C
34m
D
85m
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option D
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution

Vibration in Springs and Pipes
Solution
The lowest note emitted by a stretched string has a frequency of 40Hz. How many overtones are there between 40Hz and 180Hz?
A
4
B
3
C
2
D
1
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
\(f_0\) = 40\(H_3\)
1st overtone = 2\(f_0\) = 80\(H_3\)
2nd overtone = 3\(f_0\) = 120\(H_3\)
3rd overtone = 4\(f_0\) = 160\(H_3\)
4th overtone = 5\(f_0\) = 200\(H_3\)
\(\therefore\) Number of overtones between 40\(H_3\) and 180\(H_3\) = 3

The mass of one Avogadro number of helium atoms is?
A
1.00gram
B
4.00gram
C
8.00gram
D
