Answer: The correct answer is "the speed of the wave becomes four times".

Explanation:

The relation between the speed, frequency and the wavelength is as follows:

v=f\lambda

Here, v is the speed of the wave, f is the frequency and \lambda is the wavelength.

The speed of the sound wave is directly proportional to the frequency.

In the given problem, if the speed of the sound wave is increased four times then the speed of the sound becomes four times.

Therefore, the speed of the sound wave becomes four times.

If a star is moving away from you at a constant speed, how do the wavelengths of the absorption lines change as the star gets fa

Minchanka [31]

Answer:

they stay shifted the same amount to the red

Explanation:

Redshift is given by

$z=\dfrac{\lambda_o-\lambda_e}{\lambda_e}$

Where,

$\lambda_o$ = Wavelength observed

$\lambda_e$ = Wavelength emitted

Also

Transverse redshift is given by

$1+z=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{1-v^2/c^2}}$

v = Velocity of object

c = Speed of light = $3\times 10^8\ m/s$

So, if the velocity is constant the redshift remains the same

At the race track, one race car starts its engine with a resulting intensity level of 104.0 dB at point P. Then 6 more cars star

dem82 [27]

To solve the problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to sound intensity. The most common approach to sound intensity measurement is to use the decibel scale:

$\beta (dB) = 10log_{10}(\frac{I}{I_0})$

Where,

$I_0 = 1*10^{-12}$ is a reference intensity. It is the lowest or threshold intensity of sound a person with normal hearing can perceive at a frequency of 1000 Hz.

I = Sound intensity

Our values are given by,

$\beta = 104dB$

$\#Autos = 7$

For each auto the intensity would be,

$104 = 10log\frac{I}{1*10^{-12}}$

$10.4= log_{10} (\frac{I}{10^{-12}})$

$10^{10.4}*10^{-12}=I$

$I = 0.02511W/m^2$

Therefore the sound intesity for the 7 autos is

$I= 7* 0.02511$

$I = 0.1748W/m^2$

The sound level for the 7 cars in dB is

$\beta (dB) = 10log_{10}(\frac{0.1748}{1*10^{-12}})$

$\beta (dB) = 112.42dB$

sattari [20]

Answer: a

Explanation: The color of a star is linked to its surface temperature. The hotter the star, the shorter the wavelength of light it will emit. The hottest ones are blue or blue-white, which are shorter wavelengths of light. Cooler ones are red or red-brown, which are longer wavelengths.
