A) -2.0 m
Look at the ray diagram attached in the picture, where:
p identifies the location of the object
q identifies the location of the image
F identifies the focus of the mirror
Each tick represents 1 m
We have
p = 6.0 m is the distance of the object from the mirror
f = -3.0 m is the focal length
From the ray diagram, we see that q has a distance of 2.0 m from the mirror, and it's on the other side of the mirror compared to the object, so
q = -2.0 m
This can also be verified by using the mirror equation:
B) Upright and virtual
As we see from the picture, the image is upright, since it has same orientation as the object.
Also, we notice that the image is on the other side of the mirror, compared to the object. For a mirror,
- An image is said to be real if it is on the same side of the object
- An image is said to be virtual if it is on the opposite side of the mirror
Therefore, this means that the image is virtual.
To solve this problem it is necessary to take into account the concepts related to frequency and period, and how they are related to each other.
The relationship that defines both agreements is given by the equation,
Then the frequency for the previous period given (2sec) is
The beat frequency of two frequencies is equal to the difference between the two frequencies, then
<em>Hence option A is incorrect.</em>
We can do this process for 254Hz as and 258 Hz for
, then
<em>Hence option B is incorrect. </em>
We can also do this process for 255Hz as and 257 Hz for
, then
<em>Hence option C is incorrect. </em>
We can also do this process for 255.5Hz as f_1 and 256.5 Hz for f_2, then
<em>Hence option D is incorrect. </em>
We can also do this process for 255.75Hz as and 256.25 Hz for
, then
<em>Hence option E is incorrect. </em>
Therefore the sum of the frequencies in the sound wave would be 256.25Hz and 255.75Hz
