Dolphin echolocation is similar to ultrasound. Reflected sound waves

Physics
1 answer:
s344n2d4d5 [400]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Waves with high frequencies have shorter wavelengths that work better  than low frequency waves for successful echolocation.

Explanation:

To understand why high-frequency waves work better  than low frequency waves for successful echolocation, first we have to understand the relation between frequency and wavelength.

The relation between frequency and wavelength is given by

λ = c/f

Where λ is wavelength, c is the speed of light and f is the frequency.

Since the speed of light is constant, the wavelength and frequency are inversely related.

So that means high frequency waves have shorter wavelengths, which is the very reason for the successful echolocation because waves having shorter wavelength are more likely to reach and hit the target and then reflect back to the dolphin to form an image of the object.

Thus, waves with high frequencies have shorter wavelengths that work better  than low frequency waves for successful echolocation.

The size (radius) of an oxygen molecule is about 2.0 ×10−10 m. Make a rough estimate of the pressure at which the finite volume
timurjin [86]

Answer:

P = 1 x 10⁸ Pa

Explanation:

given,

radius = 2.0 ×10⁻¹⁰ m

Temperature

T = 300 K

Volume of gas molecule =

V = \dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3

V = \dfrac{4}{3}\pi (2\times 10^{-10})^3

 V = 33.51 x 10⁻³⁰ m³

we know,

P  V = 1 . k T

k = 1.38  x 10⁻²³ J/K

P(33.51 x 10⁻³⁰) = 1 . (1.38  x 10⁻²³) x 300

P = 1.235 x 10⁸ Pa

for 1 significant figure

P = 1 x 10⁸ Pa

Determine the inductance l of a 0.55-m-long air-filled solenoid 2.7 cm in diameter containing 9000 loops.
faltersainse [42]

Self inductance of a solenoid does not depend on magnetic field or current. When deriving the equation you can see that its self inductance is only dependent on geometric factors

Will two separate 50db sounds together constitute a 100db sound explain mathematical
vfiekz [6]
Putting together two distinct 50 dB sound, do not create a 100 dB sound. Since decibels are logarithm of energy, creating two sounds together only makes the energy increase but the logarithm only goes up by somehow little. So increasing the sound by 10 dB, only makes it 10000 times louder because each 10 dB increase in sound makes the sound 10 times louder.

Twice as loud is an increase of 10Log (2) = 3.01 dB. So, 53,01 dB is twice as loud as 50dB.

Two sources emit beams of light of wavelength 550 nm. The light from source A has an intensity of 10 μW/m2, and the light from s
alexira [117]

Answer:

<em>A) Beam B carries twice as many photons per second as beam A.</em>

Explanation:

If we have two waves with the same wavelength, then their intensity is proportional to their power, or the energy per unit time.

We also know that the amount of photon present in an electromagnetic beam is proportional to the energy of the beam, hence the amount of beam per second is proportional to the power.

With these two facts, we can say that the intensity is a measure of the amount of photon per second in an electromagnetic beam. So we can say that <em>beam B carries twice as more power than beam A, or Beam B carries twice as many photons per second as beam A.</em>
