Parasaurolophus was a dinosaur whose distinguishing feature was a hollow crest on the head. The 1.5-m-long hollow tube in the crest had connections to the nose and throat, leading some investigators to hypothesize that the tube was a resonant chamber for vocalization. If you model the tube as an open-closed system, what are the first three resonant frequencies?

Answer:

f1 = 58.3Hz, f2 = 175Hz, f3 = 291.6Hz

Explanation:

lets assume speed of sound is 350 m/s.

frequencies of a standing wave modes of an open-close tube of length L

fm = m(v/4L)

where m is 1,3,5,7......

and fm = mf1

where f1 = fundamental frequency

so therefore: f1 = 350 x 4 / 1.5

f1 = 58.3Hz

f2 = 3 x 58.3

f2 = 175Hz

f3 = 5 x 58.3

f3 = 291.6Hz
