Answer:
0.173 m.
Explanation:
The fundamental frequency of a closed pipe is given as
fc = v/4l .................. Equation 1
Where fc = fundamental frequency of a closed pipe, v = speed of sound l = length of the pipe.
Making l the subject of the equation,
l = v/4fc ................ Equation 2
also
v = 331.5×0.6T ................. Equation 3
Where T = temperature in °C, T = 18.0 °c
Substitute into equation 3
v = 331.5+0.6(18)
v = 331.5+10.8
v = 342.3 m/s.
Also given: fc = 494 Hz,
Substitute into equation 2
l = 342.3/(4×494)
l = 342.3/1976
l =0.173 m.
Hence the length of the organ pipe = 0.173 m.
You can't see beyond a blind turn, so a mirror would allow you to see around the corner.
To develop this problem it is necessary to apply the optical concepts related to the phase difference between two or more materials.
By definition we know that the phase between two light waves that are traveling on different materials (in this case also two) is given by the equation
Where
L = Thickness
n = Index of refraction of each material
Wavelength
Our values are given as
Replacing our values at the previous equation we have
Therefore the thickness of the mica is 6.64μm
