Sound enters the ear, travels through the auditory canal, and reaches the eardrum. The auditory canal is approximately a tube open at only one end. The other end is closed by the eardrum. A typical length for the auditory canal in an adult is about 3.1 cm. The speed of sound is 336 m/s. What is the fundamental frequency of the canal

The fundamental frequency of can is 2.7 kHz.                          

Explanation:

Given that,

A typical length for the auditory canal in an adult is about 3.1 cm, l = 3.1 cm

The speed of sound is, v = 336 m/s

We need to find the fundamental frequency of the canal. For a tube open at only one end, the fundamental frequency is given by :

So, the fundamental frequency of can is 2.7 kHz. Hence, this is the required solution.

note: the given question is incomplete.

complete question is given below.

which is an example of kinetic energy?

a. the energy stored in ethanol  

b. a hockey puck sliding across the ice  

c. a compressed spring  

d. a ball sitting at the top of a ramp

solution: the kinetic energy is the energy posses by the virtue of the motion of the object.

in the given options, a, c and d are the example of potential energy because it is the energy posses by the virtue of the rest of the object. but option b has the kinetic energy as the object is in motion.

hence, a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the apex example of kinetic energy.

so, the option (b) a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the correct option.
