  • Ch. 26: Exercise 8 
  • Ch. 27: Exercise 10

Ch. 19: Exercise 12

You use a vice to firmly clamp one end of a hacksaw blade. You twang the free end and it vibrates. If you do the same, but first place a wad of clay on the free end, how, if at all, will the frequency of vibration differ? Would it make a difference if the wad of clay were stuck to the middle? Explain. (Why could this question have been asked back in Chapter 8?)


Ch. 20: Exercise 18

As you pour water into a glass, you repeatedly tap the glass with a spoon. As the tapped glass is being filled, does the pitch of the sound increase or decrease? (What should you do to answer this question?)

Ch. 21: Exercise 6

A guitar and a flute are in tune with each other. Explain how a change in temperature could alter this situation.

Ch. 26: Exercise 8

We hear people talk of “ultraviolet light” and “infrared light.” Why are these terms misleading? Why are we less likely to hear people talk of “radio light” and “X-ray light”?

Ch. 27: Exercise 10

The radiation curve of the Sun (Figures 27.7 and 27.8) show that the brightest light from the Sun is yellow-green. Why, then, do we see the Sun as whitish instead of yellow green?

Ch. 28: Exercise 7

Why is the lettering on the front of some vehicles “backward”?
