14.1 . BIO (a) Music. When a person sings, his or her vocal cords vibrate in a repetitive pattern that has the same frequency as the note that is sung. If someone sings the note B flat, which has a fre- quency of 466 Hz, how much time does it take the person’s vocal cords to vibrate through one complete cycle, and what is the angu- lar frequency of the cords? (b) Hearing. When sound waves strike the eardrum, this membrane vibrates with the same frequency as the sound. The highest pitch

 14.1  . BIO  (a) Music. When a person sings, his or her vocal cords vibrate in a repetitive pattern that has the same frequency as the note that is sung. If someone sings the note B flat, which has a fre- quency of 466 Hz, how much time does it take the person’s vocal cords to vibrate through one complete cycle, and what is the angu- lar frequency of the cords? (b) Hearing. When sound waves strike the eardrum, this membrane vibrates with the same frequency as the sound. The highest pitch that typical humans can hear has a period of 50.0 ms. What are the frequency and angular frequency of the vibrating eardrum for this sound? (c) Vision. When light having vibrations with angular frequency ranging from 2.7 *  1015 rad/s to 4.7 *  1015 rad/s strikes the retina of the eye, it stimulates the receptor cells there and is perceived as visible light. What are the limits of the period and frequency of this light? (d) Ultrasound. High-frequency sound waves (ultrasound) are used to probe the interior of the body, much as x rays do. To detect small objects such as tumors, a frequency of around 5.0 MHz is used. What are the  period  and  angular  frequency  of  the  molecular  vibrations caused by this pulse of sound?
