Start with basic concept that you have the same amount of watts it's just how far away you are dictates the watts/meter squared (per area). As the distance from the object is increased, the area increases as distance squared (think of a sphere of increasing radius, as you increase the radius, the surface area increases as r^2, double radius, you get 4 times area, triple radius, 9 times area, and so forth). so safe from acoustical effects (reflections off walls, etc) as you increase the distance from a speaker, the sound will decrease by a factor of the distance squared, as before 2x distance =1/4 power, 3x distance =1/9 power. 

<span>so the only thing left out of your questions is what distance from speaker is the level at 10^-6 W/m^2 and what distance is point B from the speaker, and apply the 1/distance^2 principle. </span>

<span>The power at point B (PB) is the following: </span>

<span>power at given power level (we will call this point A or PA). </span>

<span>PB=PA*(DA/DB)^2 </span>

<span>Where PB is power level at PB (in W/m^2) </span>
<span>PA=power at point A or 10^-6 W/m^2 </span>
<span>DA=distance from speaker to point A </span>
<span>DB=distance from speaker to point B. </span>

A steel piano string of mass per unit lenght 4×10-⁴kgm-¹ was struck, if the speed of the sound on the string is 300ms-¹. Calcula
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

36 N

Explanation:

Velocity of a standing wave in a stretched string is:

v = √(T/ρ),

where T is the tension and ρ is the mass per unit length.

300 m/s = √(T / 4×10⁻⁴ kg/m)

T = 36 N

Assume that in the Stern-Gerlach experiment for neutral silver atoms, the magnetic field has a magnitude of B = 0.21 T. (a) What
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

Explanation

Assume that in the Stern-Gerlach experiment for neutral silver atoms, the magnetic field has a magnitude of B = 0.21 T

A. To calculate the energy difference in the magnetic moment orientation

∆E = 2μB

For example, any electron's magnetic moment is measured to be 9.284764×10^−24 J/T

Then

μ = 9.284764 × 10^-24 J/T

∆E = 2μB

∆E = 2 × 9.284764 × 10^-24 × 0.21

∆E = 3.8996 × 10^-24 J

Then, to eV

1eV = 1.602 × 10^-19J

∆E = 3.8996 × 10^-24 J × 1eV / 1.602 × 10^-19J

∆E = 2.43 × 10^-5 eV

B. Frequency?

To determine the frequency of radiation hitch would induce the transition between the two states is,

∆E = hf

Where h is plank constant

h = 6.626 × 10-34 Js

Then, f = ∆E / h

f = 3.8996 × 10^-24 / 6.626 × 10^-34

f = 5.885 × 10^9 Hz

f ≈ 5.89 GHz

C. The wavelength of the radiation

From wave equation

v = fλ

In electromagnetic, we deal with speed of light, v = c

And the speed of light in vacuum is

c = 3 × 10^8 m/s

c = fλ

λ = c / f

λ = 3 × 10^8 / 5.885 × 10^9

λ = 0.051 m

λ = 5.1 cm

λ = 51 mm

D. It belongs to the microwave

From table

Micro waves ranges from

•Wavelength 10 to 0.01cm

Then we got λ = 5.1 cm, which is in the range.

•Frequency 3GHz to 3 Thz

Then, we got f ≈ 5.89 GHz, which is in the range

•Energy 10^-5 to 0.01 eV

We got ∆E = 2.43 × 10^-5 eV, which is in the range of the microwave

The value above is in microwave range

The subfield of anthropology that describes, analyzes, interprets, and explains social and cultural similarities and differences
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

cultural

Explanation:

Cultural anthropology studies the characteristics of the behavior learned in human societies, that is, science of human culture. In general, it is the science that studies the origin, development, structure, characteristics and variations of human culture in both past and present societies. Ethnography, ethnology, archeology, linguistics and physical anthropology are the disciplines on which cultural anthropology is founded.
