Rachel Carson was the author of the acclaimed environmental book, Silent Spring. The book was published in 1962.
It documented the negative effect that synthetic pesticides have on the environment, specifically on birds.
This book laid bare to the American public what chemical companies indirectly contributed to the environment.
The public furor this book caused led to the reversal of the national pesticide policy, a nationwide ban on DDT for agricultural uses, and inspired the creation of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
Answer:
0.34 m
Explanation:
From the question,
v = λf................ Equation 1
Where v = speed of sound, f = frequency, λ = Wave length
Make λ the subject of the equation
λ = v/f............... Equation 2
Given: v = 340 m/s, f = 500 Hz.
Substitute these values into equation 2
λ = 340/500
λ = 0.68 m
But, the distance between a point of rarefaction and the next compression point, in the resulting sound is half wave length
Therefore,
λ/2 = 0.68/2
λ/2 = 0.34 m
Hence, the distance between a point of rarefaction and the next compression point, in the resulting sound is 0.34 m
