(a) 7.62 \times 10^{-5} m is the wavelength in air of such a sound wave.

(b) 3.33 \times 10^{-4}\ m is the wavelength of this wave in tissue.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Frequency and wavelength can be related by the equation,

              Velocity = Wavelength x Frequency

              v=\lambda \times f

where,

v - velocity of light for all EM (electromagnetic) waves in vacuum

Given:

f - 4.50 MHz = 4.50 \times 10^{6} \mathrm{Hz}

a) To find the wavelength in air

We know,

Speed of sound in air = 343 m/s

Apply given frequency and speed of sound in air, we get

        \lambda=\frac{v}{f}=\frac{343}{4.5 \times 10^{6}}=76.2 \times 10^{-6}=7.62 \times 10^{-5}\ \mathrm{m}

b) If the speed of sound in tissue is 1500 m/s, find the wavelength of this wave in tissue

Speed of sound in tissue, v = 1500 m/s

        \lambda=\frac{v}{f}=\frac{1500}{4.5 \times 10^{6}}=333.33 \times 10^{-6}=3.33 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{m}

lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

decrease

Explanation:

If the two charged ball attracts each other, it means the charge on both the balls are opposite in nature.

As, we insert a glass slab, it means a dielectric is inserted in between the charges. The force between them is reduced.

A body initially at 100°C cools to 60°C in minutes and to 40°C. The temperature of body at the end of 15 minutes will be​
zhuklara [117]

The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

A body initially at a all 100 degree centigarde cools to 60 degree centigarde in 5 minutes and to 40 degree centigarde in 10 minutes . What is the temperature of surrounding? What will be the temperature in 15 minutes?

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

From Newton's law of cooling;

θ1 - θ2/t = K(θ1 + θ2/2 - θo]

Where;

θ1 and θ2 are initial and final temperatures

θo is the temperature of the surroundings

K is the constant

t is the time taken

Hence;

100 - 60/5 = K(100 + 60/2 - θo)

100 - 40/10 = K(100 + 40/2 - θo)

8= (80 - θo)K -----(1)

6= (70 - θo)K -----(2)

Diving (1) by (2)

8/6 = (80 - θo)/(70 - θo)

8(70 - θo) = 6(80 - θo)

560 - 8θo = 480 - θo

560 - 480 = -θo + 8θo

80 = 7θo

θo = 11.4°

Again from Newton's law of cooling;

θ = θo + Ce^-kt

Where;

t= 0, θ = 60° and θo = 11.4°

60 = 11.4 + C e^-K(0)

60 - 11.4 = C

C= 48.6°

To obtain K

40 = 11.4 + 48.6e^-10k

40 -11.4 = 48.6e^-10k

28.6/48.6 = e^-10k

0.5585 = e^-10k

-10k = ln0.5585

k= ln0.5585/-10

K= 0.0583

Hence, the temperature in 15 minutes;

θ= 11.4 + 48.6e^(-0.0583 × 15)

θ= 31.7°
