A beat is an interference pattern between two sounds of slightly different frequencies, perceived as a periodic variation in volume whose rate is the difference of the two frequencies. Frequency beat is equal to,
The reference frequency in our case would be 392Hz, and since there is the possibility of the upper and lower range for the amount of beats per second that the two possible frequencies are heard would be
Therefore the two possible frequencies the piano wire is vibrating at, would be 396Hz and 388Hz
Answer:
i) FALSE, ii) TRUE, iii) FALSE, iv) FALSE
Explanation:
When light (electromagnetic radiation) travels through a material medium, its speed is less than the speed of light in a vacuum. If we define the index of parts
n = c / v
where v is the speed of light in the material medium.
The direction of the ray can be determined by the law of refraction
n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂
Let's apply these equations to our case where
nₓ <n_y
i) The expression of the refractive index
nₓ < n_y
v_y <vₓ
therefore the expression is FALSE
ii) If we use the law of refraction, the light, when passing from a medium with a lower start to another with a higher index, must approach the normal one, away from what would be the continuation of the path of the incident ray
so the expression is TRUE
iii) The speed of light is constant in all material media
the statement is FALSE
iv) light approaches normal
Let me clarify that the normal is a line perpendicular to the surface at the point of contact, not the direction of Io.
the statement of FALSE
