A resonance tube can be used to measured the speed of sound in air. A tuning fork is held above the opening of the tube and stru

ck, while the far end of the tube is lengthened or shortened. Resonances (loudnesses) are heard at a series of tube lengths, L, which are carefully measured.
resonance tube

The speed of sound in air is determined by measuring the distance between two consecutive resonances. A data set for a tuning fork with a frequency of 320 Hz are L1 = 25.8 cm; L2 = 78.4 cm; and L3 = 131.1 cm. Based on these data, what is the speed of sound in air?

Hint: the opening at the top is an antinode while the water surface is a node. Therefore, what fraction of a full wave is L1? What fractions are L2 and L3?

Answer:

330.24 Hz

Explanation:

Given:

Frequency, f = 320 Hz

L1 = 25.8 cm

L2 = 78.4 cm

L3 = 131.1 cm

Let the wavelength be λ

Then, L1 which is the length of the column of air is λ/4.

λ/4 = 25.8 cm

λ = 25.8 × 4 = 103.2 cm = 1.032 m

Then, speed of sound in air is:

v = λ f

⇒ v = 1.032 × 320 Hz

⇒ v = 330.24 m/s

A convex security mirror has a radius of curvature of 12.0 cm. What is the magnification of a pare 3.0 m from the mirror?

Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

magnification will be -0.025

Explanation:

We have given the radius of curvature = 12 cm

And object distance = 3 m

So focal length $f=\frac{R}{2}=\frac{12}{2}=6cm$

Now for mirror we know that $\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{u}+\frac{1}{v}$

So $\frac{1}{0.06}=\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{v}$

$16.66-0.333=\frac{1}{v}$

v = 0.750 m

Now magnification of the mirror is $m=\frac{-v}{u}=\frac{-0.750}{3}=-0.025$

k0ka [10]

Answer:

$1.54481175\times 10^{-12}\ C$

Explanation:

$\epsilon_0$ = Permittivity of free space = $8.85\times 10^{-12}\ F/m$

A = Area = $6\times 10^{-9}\ m^2$

d = Thickness = $1.6\times 10^{-8}\ m$

k = Dielectric constant = 5.4

V = Voltage = 86.2 mV

Charge is given by

$Q=CV\\\Rightarrow Q=k\epsilon\dfrac{A}{d}V\\\Rightarrow Q=5.4\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}\times \dfrac{6\times 10^{-9}}{1.6\times 10^{-8}}\times 86.2\times 10^{-3}\\\Rightarrow Q=1.54481175\times 10^{-12}\ C$

The charge on the outer surface is $1.54481175\times 10^{-12}\ C$

siniylev [52]

Answer:

$v = 4.44 \times 10^5 m/s$

Explanation:

By Einstein's Equation of photoelectric effect we know that

$h\nu = W + \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

here we know that

$h\nu$ = energy of the photons incident on the metal

$W$ = minimum energy required to remove photons from metal

$\frac{1}{2}mv^2$ = kinetic energy of the electrons ejected out of the plate

now we know that it requires 351 nm wavelength of photons to just eject out the electrons

so we can say

$W = \frac{hc}{351 nm}$

here we know that

$hc = 1242 eV-nm$

now we have

$W = \frac{1242}{351} = 3.54 eV$

now by energy equation above when photon of 303 nm incident on the surface

$\frac{1242 eV-nm}{303 nm} = 3.54 eV + \frac{1}{2}(9.1 \times 10^{-31})v^2$

$4.1 eV = 3.54 eV + (4.55 \times 10^{-31}) v^2$

$(4.1 - 3.54)\times 1.6 \times 10^{-19}) = (4.55 \times 10^{-31}) v^2$

$8.96 \times 10^{-20} = (4.55 \times 10^{-31}) v^2$

$v = 4.44 \times 10^5 m/s$
