How does the wavelength of a sound affect the way it moves around corners

1 answer:

8 0

This is the diffraction. The longer the wavelength, the wider it spread. (The greater angle of the sector pattern formed)

a crude approximation of voice production is to consider the breathing passages and mouth to be a resonating tube closed at one

prohojiy [21]

The fundamental frequency of the tube is 0.240 m long, by taking air temperature to be $37^o$ C is 367.42 Hz.

A standing wave is basically a superposition of two waves propagating opposite to each other having equal amplitude. This is the propagation in a tube.

The fundamental frequency in the tube is given by

$f=\frac{v_T}{4L}$

where, $v_T=v\sqrt{\frac{T}{273} }$

Since, T=37+273 K = 310 K

v = 331 m/s

$\therefore v_T=331\sqrt{\frac{310}{273} } = 352.72 \ m/s$

Using this, we get:

$f=\frac{352.72}{4(0.240)} \\f=367.42 \ Hz$

Hence, the fundamental frequency is 367.42 Hz.

A scientist observes rock masses that have moved past each other in opposite horizontal directions. Which feature

Reil [10]

Answer:

C. strike-slip fault

Explanation:

The scientist must have observed a strike- slip fault.

A fault is an evidence of brittle deformation of the crust in the presence of applied stress on earth materials. Here, the earth material is the rock subjected to tension.

Where a fault occurs, there must have been movement between two blocks of rocks. The direction of movement helps us to delineate the fault type.

When two blocks moves past each other horizontally, it is a strike-slip fault like rubbing your palms together.
When a block moves in the direction of the dip, it forms a dip-slip fault which results in a fault-block mountain characterized by graben and horst systems.

Option A, Plateau is a table landform usually a mountain with flat peak.

Option B is a bowl shaped stratigraphic pattern in which the youngest sequence is at the core of the strata or a fold.

So, the most fitting option is C, a strike-slip fault.

jet is flying at 500 mph east relative to the ground. A Cessna is flying at 150 mph 60° north of west relative to the ground. Wh

Greeley [361]

Answer:

C. 590 mph

$\vert v_{cj}\vert=589.49\ mph$

Explanation:

Given:

velocity of jet, $v_j=500\ mph$
direction of velocity of jet, east relative to the ground
velocity of Cessna, $v_c=150\ mph$
direction of velocity of Cessna, 60° north of west

Taking the x-axis alignment towards east and hence we have the velocity vector of the jet as reference.

Refer the attached schematic.

So,

$\vec v_j=500\ \hat i\ mph$

$\vec v_c=150\times (\cos120\ \hat i+\sin120\ \hat j)$

$\vec v_c=-75\ \hat i+75\sqrt{3}\ \hat j\ mph$

Now the vector of relative velocity of Cessna with respect to jet:

$\vec v_{cj}=\vec v_j-\vec v_c$

$\vec v_{cj}=500\ \hat i-(-75\ \hat i+75\sqrt{3}\ \hat j )$

$\vec v_{cj}=575\ \hat i-75\sqrt{3}\ \hat j\ mph$

Now the magnitude of this velocity:

$\vert v_{cj}\vert=\sqrt{(575)^2+(75\sqrt{3} )^2}$

$\vert v_{cj}\vert=589.49\ mph$ is the relative velocity of Cessna with respect to the jet.

Which instrument is used to measure depth of ocean ?

skelet666 [1.2K]

Echo sounding is a type of SONAR used to determine the depth of water by transmitting sound pulses into water. The time interval between emission and return of a pulse is recorded, which is used to determine the depth of water along with the speed of sound in water at the time.
