What is dispersion? A physics definition please.

1 answer:

6 0

In optics, dispersion is the phenomenon in which the phase velocity of a wave depends on its frequency. Media having this common property may be termed dispersive media. Sometimes the term chromatic dispersion is used for specificity.

The work output of a machine can never be less than

Dominik [7]

The work output of a machine can be anything, depending on the friction
and other losses internal to the machine. But it can never be MORE than
the work <u>input</u>.

I suppose you might say that the work output can never be less than zero,
because there's no such thing as negative energy.

A stereo speaker is rated at P1000 = 52 W of output at 1000 Hz. At 20 Hz, the sound intensity level LaTeX: \betaβ decreases by 1

baherus [9]

Answer:

The value of the power is $P_c = 38.55 \ W$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The power rating $P_{1000} =P_b= 52 \ W$

The frequency is $f = 1000 \ Hz$

The frequency at which the sound intensity decreases $f_k = 20 \ Hz$

The decrease in intensity is by $\beta = 1.3 dB$

Generally the initial intensity of the speaker is mathematically represented as

$\beta_1 = 10 log_{10} [\frac{P_b}{P_a} ]$

Generally the intensity of the speaker after it has been decreased is

$\beta_2 = 10 log_{10} [\frac{P_c}{P_a} ]$

$\beta_1-\beta_2 = 10 log_{10} [\frac{P_c}{P_a} ]- 10 log_{10} [\frac{P_b}{P_a} ]$

=> $\beta = 10 log_{10} [\frac{P_c}{P_a} ]- 10 log_{10} [\frac{P_b}{P_a} ]= 1.3$

=> $\beta =10log_{10} [\frac{\frac{P_b}{P_a}}{\frac{P_c}{P_a}} ] = 1.3$

=> $\beta =10log_{10} [\frac{P_b}{P_c} ] = 1.3$

=> $10log_{10} [\frac{P_b}{P_c} ] = 1.3$

=> $log_{10} [\frac{P_b}{P_c} ] = 0.13$

taking atilog of both sides

$[\frac{P_b}{P_c} ] = 10^{0.13}$

=> $[\frac{52}{P_c} ] = 10^{0.13}$

=> $P_c = \frac{52}{1.34896}$

=> $P_c = 38.55 \ W$

How many different pieces are involved with the simple task of breathing ?and why is it shocking to a lot of people?

Aneli [31]

A person usually breathes an average of 13 pints of air every minute.
Lungs aren't the same size. To accommodate the heart, the right lung is larger than the left lung — for humans, that is.
Lungs float on water. ...
Lungs and tennis courts can be the same size. ...
Oxygen only plays a small part in breathing.
