Could an experiment similar to young's two-slit experiment be performed with sound? how might this be carried out? does it matte
r that sound waves are longitudinal and electromagnetic waves are transverse? explain.
1 answer:
Young's double slit experiment(YDSE) can be used for any kind of waves such as electromagnetic waves, sound waves, water waves, gravity waves. YDSE is based on interference. In this experiment, we make two waves interfere in order to obtain bright and dark fringes on the screen(in case of light).
You can carry this out with water, would be great if you try this at pond or water reservoir in order to see perfect ripples.

Answer:
a) 0.0288 grams
b)
Explanation:
Given that:
A typical human body contains about 3.0 grams of Potassium per kilogram of body mass
The abundance for the three isotopes are:
Potassium-39, Potassium-40, and Potassium-41 with abundances are 93.26%, 0.012% and 6.728% respectively.
a)
Thus; a person with a mass of 80 kg will posses = 80 × 3 = 240 grams of potassium.
However, the amount of potassium that is present in such person is :
0.012% × 240 grams
= 0.012/100 × 240 grams
= 0.0288 grams
b)
the effective dose (in Sieverts) per year due to Potassium-40 in an 80- kg body is calculate as follows:
First the Dose in (Gy) =
=
=
Effective dose (Sv) = RBE × Dose in Gy
Effective dose (Sv) =
Effective dose (Sv) =
(a) Because the tension in the rope would be larger than the maximum value allowed
When you are sliding down the slope, there are two forces acting on you:
- Your weight, , acting downward, where
m = 70 kg is your mass
g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity
- The tension in the rope, T, acting upward
Therefore, the equation of motion is
where a is the acceleration.
If you want to slide at constant speed, then the acceleration must be zero:
And so the equation becomes
This means that the tension in the rope must be:
Which is larger than the maximum tension allowed in the rope (500 N), so the rope will break.
(b) downward
Again, we must refer to the equation of the forces:
In this case, we want the tension in the rope to be the maximum allowed value,
T = 500 N
the other data are
m = 70 kg is your mass
g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity
Substituting into the equation, we can find the corresponding value of acceleration:
where the negative sign means the acceleration is downward.
