Answer:

The intensity of sound (I) = 3.16 x 10⁻⁶ W/m²

Explanation:

We have expression for sound intensity level (SIL),

$L=10log_{10}\left ( \frac{I}{I_0}\right )$

Here we need to find the intensity of sound (I).

$L=10log_{10}\left ( \frac{I}{I_0}\right )\\\\log_{10}\left ( \frac{I}{I_0}\right )=0.1L\\\\\frac{I}{I_0}=10^{0.1L}\\\\I=I_010^{0.1L}$

Substituting

L = 67 dB and I₀ = 10⁻¹² W/m² in the equation

$I=I_010^{0.1L}=10^{-12}\times 10^{0.1\times 65}\\\\I_0=10^{-12}\times 10^{6.5}=10^{-5.5}=3.16\times 10^{-6}W/m^2$

The intensity of sound (I) = 3.16 x 10⁻⁶ W/m²

This item is solved through the concept of the conservation of momentum which states that the momentum before and after collision should be equal.
momentum = mass x velocity
(1,600 kg)(16 m/s) + (1.0x10^3 kg)(10 m/s) = (1600 + 1000 kg)(x)
The value of x is 13.69 m/s. Thus, their final speed is approximately letter D. 14 m/s.

Monochromatic light falls on two very narrow slits 0.048 mm apart. successive fringes on a screen 5.00 m away are 6.5 cm apart n

atroni [7]

In a double-slit interference experiment, the distance y of the maximum of order m from the center of the observed interference pattern on the screen is
$y= \frac{m \lambda D}{d}$
where D=5.00 m is the distance of the screen from the slits, and
$d=0.048 mm=0.048 \cdot 10^{-3}m$ is the distance between the two slits.
The fringes on the screen are 6.5 cm=0.065 m apart from each other, this means that the first maximum (m=1) is located at y=0.065 m from the center of the pattern.
Therefore, from the previous formula we can find the wavelength of the light:
$\lambda = \frac{yd}{mD}= \frac{(0.065 m)(0.048 \cdot 10^{-3}m)}{(1)(5.00 m)}= 6.24 \cdot 10^{-7}m$

And from the relationship between frequency and wavelength, $c=\lambda f$ , we can find the frequency of the light:
$f= \frac{c}{\lambda}= \frac{3 \cdot 10^8 m/s}{6.24 \cdot 10^{-7}m}=4.81 \cdot 10^{14}Hz$
