You know that you sound better when you sing in the shower. This has to do with the amplification of frequencies that correspond

to the standing-wave resonances of the shower enclosure. A shower enclosure is created by adding glass doors and tile walls to a standard bathtub, so the enclosure has the dimensions of a standard tub, 0.75m wide and 1.5m long. Standing sound waves can be set up along either axis of the enclosure. What are the lowest two frequencies that correspond to resonances on each axis of the shower? These frequencies will be especially amplified. Assume a sound speed of 343 m/s.A) What are the lowest two frequencies that correspond to resonances on the short axis?B) What are the lowest two frequencies that correspond to resonances on the longer axis?

Answer:

Explanation:

For first overtone

Standing waves will be formed lengthwise and breadth-wise in the enclosures  having dimension of .75m  x 1.5 m

A ) For the formation of lowest two frequencies formed by standing waves along the breadth  , fundamental note and first overtone may be considered.  

For fundamental note ,  

the condition is  

wave length λ = 2L = 2 x 0.75 m  

λ = 1.5 m  

frequency n = v / λ

= 343 / 1.5  

= 229  Hz approx

For first overtone

λ = L = 0.75m

frequency n = v / λ

n = 343 / 0.75  

= 457 Hz approx

B)

For the formation of lowest two frequencies formed by standing waves along the length , fundamental note and first overtone may be considered.  

For fundamental note ,  

the condition is  

wave length λ = 2L = 2 x 1.5 m  

λ = 3 m  

frequency n = v / λ

= 343 / 3  

= 114 Hz approx

frequency n = v / λ

n = 343 / 1.5  

= 229 Hz approx

Define Refraction and give some knowlegde about it
shepuryov [24]
Refraction is the change in direction of a wave, caused by the change in the wave's speed. Examples of waves include sound waves and light waves. Refraction is seen most often when a wave passes from one transparent medium to another transparent medium. Different types of medium include air and water. When a wave passes from one transparent medium to another transparent medium, the wave will change its speed and its direction. For example, when a light wave travels through air and then passes into water, the wave will slow and change direction.

The electrons in the beam of a television tube have a kinetic energy of 2.20 10-15 j. initially, the electrons move horizontally
dalvyx [7]
(a) The electrons move horizontally from west to east, while the magnetic field is directed downward, toward the surface. We can determine the direction of the force on the electron by using the right-hand rule:
- index finger: velocity --> due east
- middle finger: magnetic field --> downward
- thumb: force --> due north
However, we have to take into account that the electron has negative charge, therefore we have to take the opposite direction: so, the magnetic force is directed southwards, and the electrons are deflected due south.

b) From the kinetic energy of the electrons, we can find their velocity by using
K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2
where K is the kinetic energy, m the electron mass and v their velocity. Re-arranging the formula, we find
v= \sqrt{ \frac{2K}{m} }= \sqrt{ \frac{2 \cdot 2.20 \cdot 10^{-15} J}{9.1 \cdot 10^{-31} kg} }=6.95 \cdot 10^7 m/s

The Lorentz force due to the magnetic field provides the centripetal force that deflects the electrons:
qvB = m \frac{v^2}{r}
where
q is the electron charge
v is the speed
B is the magnetic field strength
m is the electron mass
r is the radius of the trajectory
By re-arranging the equation, we find the radius r:
r= \frac{mv}{qB}= \frac{(9.1 \cdot 10^{-31} kg)(6.95 \cdot 10^7 m/s)}{(1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} C)(3.00 \cdot 10^{-5} T)}=13.18 m

And finally we can calculate the centripetal acceleration, given by:
a_c =  \frac{v^2}{r}= \frac{(6.95 \cdot 10^7 m/s)^2}{13.18 m}=3.66 \cdot 10^{14} m/s^2
