The speed of a one-dimensional compressional wave traveling along a thin copper rod is 3.56 km/s. A copper bar is given a sharp compressional blow at one end. The sound of the blow, traveling through air at 0°C, reaches the opposite end of the bar 6.40 ms later than the sound transmitted through the metal of the bar. What is the length of the bar? |
