Angry sound level = 70 db
Soothing sound level = 50 db
Frequency, f = 500 Hz
Assuming speed of sound = 345 m/s
Density (assumed) = 1.21 kg/m^3
Reference sound intensity, Io = 1*10^-12 w/m^2

Part (a): Initial sound intensity (angry sound)
10log (I/Io) = Sound level
Therefore,
For Ia = 70 db
Ia/(1*10^-12) = 10^(70/10)
Ia = 10^(70/10)*10^-12 = 1*10^-5 W/m^2

Part (b): Final sound intensity (soothing sound)
Is = 50 db
Therefore,
Is = 10^(50/10)*10^-12 = 18*10^-7 W/m^2

Part (c): Initial sound wave amplitude
Now,
I (W/m^2) = 0.5*A^2*density*velocity*4*π^2*frequency^2

Making A the subject;
A = Sqrt [I/(0.5*density*velocity*4π^2*frequency^2)]

Substituting;
A_initial = Sqrt [(1*10^-5)/(0.5*1.21*345*4π^2*500^2)] = 6.97*10^-8 m = 69.7 nm

Part (d): Final sound wave amplitude
A_final = Sqrt [(1*10^-7)/(0.5*1.21*345*4π^2*500^2)] = 6.97*10^-9 m = 6.97 nm

A scientist notices that an oil slick floating on water when viewed from above has many different colors reflecting off the surf
Sati [7]

Answer:

a) The minimum thickness of the oil slick at the spot is 313 nm

b) the minimum thickness be now will be 125 nm

Explanation:  

Given the data in the question;

a) The index of refraction of the oil is 1.20. What is the minimum thickness of the oil slick at that spot?

t_{min = λ/2n

given that; wavelength λ = 750 nm and  index of refraction of the oil n = 1.20

we substitute

t_{min = 750 / 2(1.20)

t_{min = 750 / 2.4

t_{min = 312.5 ≈ 313 nm

Therefore, The minimum thickness of the oil slick at the spot is 313 nm

b)

Suppose the oil had an index of refraction of 1.50. What would the minimum thickness be now?

minimum thickness of the oil slick at the spot will be;

t_{min = λ/4n

given that; wavelength λ = 750 nm and  index of refraction of the oil n = 1.50

we substitute

t_{min = 750 / 4(1.50)

t_{min = 750 / 6

t_{min = 125 nm

Therefore, the minimum thickness be now will be 125 nm

Q.Solve the following circuit find total resistance RT. Also find value of voltage across resister RC.
Drupady [299]

Answer:

14.57 ohms

Explanation:

Here in the figure ,Rb & R₄are in series  & also  Rc & R₅ are in series. As they are in series , ( Rb + R₄ ) & (Rc & R₅) are in parallel . So the equivalent resistance in that branch = ( 2 + 18 ) ║ ( 3 + 12 )

                                          = 20 ║ 15

                                          = (20×15) / (20 + 15)

                                          = 8.57 ohms

Also Ra ( 6 ohm ) is in series with that branch ,. So the equivalent resistance of the whole circuit = 8.57 + 6 = 14.57 ohms.
