Answer:

D. Ultraviolet disinfecting wand.

Explanation:

Energy in light waves depends upon the frequency o the waves. Higher the frequency of the waves, higher the amount of energy it carries. Similarly, waves with shorter wavelength has higher frequencies and thus more energy.

Ultraviolet disinfecting wand would produce most energy out of the four options because it produce UV waves which have shorter wavelength and higher frequency.

A single sperm and the mother's egg cell meet in the fallopian tube. When the single sperm enters the egg, conception occurs. The combined sperm and egg is called a zygote. The zygote contains all of the genetic information (DNA) needed to become a baby.

A guitar player tunes the fundamental frequency of a guitar string to 560 Hz. (a) What will be the fundamental frequency if she

lawyer [7]

Answer:

(a) if she increases the tension in the string is increased by 15%, the fundamental frequency will be increased to 740.6 Hz

(b) If she decrease the length of the the string by one-third the fundamental frequency will be increased to 840 Hz

Explanation:

(a) The fundamental, f₁, frequency is given as follows;

$f_1 = \dfrac{\sqrt{\dfrac{T}{\mu}} }{2 \cdot L}$

Where;

T = The tension in the string

μ = The linear density of the string

L = The length of the string

f₁ = The fundamental frequency = 560 Hz

If the tension in the string is increased by 15%, we will have;

$f_{(1 \, new)} = \dfrac{\sqrt{\dfrac{T\times 1.15}{\mu}} }{2 \cdot L} = 1.3225 \times \dfrac{\sqrt{\dfrac{T}{\mu}} }{2 \cdot L} = 1.3225 \times f_1$

$f_{(1 \, new)} = 1.3225 \times f_1 = (1 + 0.3225) \times f_1$

$f_{(1 \, new)} = 1.3225 \times f_1 =\dfrac{132.25}{100} \times 560 \ Hz = 740.6 \ Hz$

Therefore, if the tension in the string is increased by 15%, the fundamental frequency will be increased by a fraction of 0.3225 or 32.25% to 740.6 Hz

(b) When the string length is decreased by one-third, we have;

The new length of the string, $L_{new}$ = 2/3·L

The value of the fundamental frequency will then be given as follows;

$f_{(1 \, new)} = \dfrac{\sqrt{\dfrac{T}{\mu}} }{2 \times \dfrac{2 \times L}{3} } =\dfrac{3}{2} \times \dfrac{\sqrt{\dfrac{T}{\mu}} }{2 \cdot L} = \dfrac{3}{2} \times 560 \ Hz = 840 \ Hz$

When the string length is reduced by one-third, the fundamental frequency increases to one-half or 50% to 840 Hz.
