A woman stands at rest in front of a large, smooth wall. She holds a vibrating tuning fork of frequency Initial: fo directly in

front of her (between her and the wall).
(a) The woman now runs toward the wall with speed Pw, She detects beats due to the interference between the sound waves reaching her directly from the fork

Note: If the beat frequency is too large, the woman may have to use some instrumentation other than her e reaching her after being reflected from the wall. How many beats per second will she detect?

Answer:

(a) f_{o}*\frac{2P_{w} }{v - P_{w} }

(b) f_{o}*\frac{2P_{w} }{v + P_{w} }

Explanation:

(a) In the given problem, the turning fork has a frequency of f_{o}. Then, a woman runs toward the wall with a speed of P_{w}. From the principle of light reflection, the reflection of the sound from the fork reach the woman at a speed of v. Thus, the beat frequency is:

f_{o}*\frac{2P_{w} }{v - P_{w} }

(b) In this part, the woman moves away from the water which is in contrast to part (a). Thus the beat frequency is:

f_{o}*\frac{2P_{w} }{v + P_{w} }

A friend tells you that a lunar eclipse will take place the following week, and invites you to join him to observe the eclipse t
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

y = 80.2 mille

Explanation:

The minimum size of an object that can be seen is determined by the diffraction phenomenon, if we use the Rayleigh criterion that establishes that two objects can be distinguished without the maximum diffraction of a body coincides with the minimum of the other body, therefore so much for the pupil of the eye that it is a circular opening

          θ = 1.22 λ/ d

in a normal eye the diameter of the pupils of d = 2 mm = 0.002 m, suppose the wavelength of maximum sensitivity of the eye λ = 550 nm = 550 10⁻⁹ m

         θ = 1.22 550 10⁻⁹ / 0.002

         θ = 3.355 10⁻⁴ rad

Let's use trigonometry to find the distance supported by this angle, the distance from the moon to the Earth is L = 238900 mille = 2.38900 10⁵ mi

       tan θ = y / L

       y = L tan θ

       y = 2,389 10⁵ tan 3,355 10⁻⁴

       y = 8.02 10¹ mi

       y = 80.2 mille

This is the smallest size of an object seen directly by the eye
