Question:

A vertical hollow tube is connected to a speaker, which vibrates vertically with simple harmonic motion (FIGURE 13-45). The speaker operates with constant amplitude, A, but variable frequency, Æ’. A slender pencil is placed inside the tube.

(a) At low frequencies the pencil stays in contact with the speaker at all times; at higher frequencies the pencil begins to rattle. Explain the reason for this behavior.

(b) Find an expression for the frequency at which rattling begins.
