(7\%) Problem 9: Elephants can ereate and detect infrasonic sounds - sounds with frequencies lower than about \( 20 \mathrm{~Hz} \) - which can travel long distances. They create these sounds using the lower than about \( 20 \mathrm{~Hz} \) - which can travel long distances. They create these sounds using t cavity that extends from their laryn to the tip of their long trunk. Consider this cavity as a Cylindrical Air Column cylindrical air column of length \( 4.86 \) meters that is closed at the larynx and open at the tip of the trunk: Larynx (Closed End) Trunk tip (Open End Ethcexperttai,can - \( \otimes 33 \% \) Part (a) Choose the image that shows the standing wave associated with the displacement of air molecules for the hirst fundamental frequency \( f \) produced in the air column. \( \sqrt{\text { Correct }} \) A 33\% Part (b) Calculate the fundamental frequency of a standing wave in such an elephant's air column, in hert.
