Chapter 14, Problem 112

(choose chapter or problem)

The Love Song of the Midshipman Fish When the plainn midshipman sh (Porichthys notatus) migrates from deep Pacic waters to the west coast of North America each summer, the males begin to sing their love song, which some describe as sounding like a low-pitched motorboat. Houseboat residents and shore dwellers are kept awake for nights on end by the amorous sh. The love song consists of a single note, the second Aat below middle C. (a) If the speed of sound in seawater is 1531 m/s, what is the wavelength of the midshipmans song? (b) What is the wavelength of the sound after it emerges into the air? (Information on the musical scale is given in Table 143.)
