50% of the moon is always illuminated, however during it's quarter phase means that we only see a quarter of what's really lit up. So it LOOKS like the moon is only 25% lit and 75% dark, it's truly 50/50. We only see that 25% since we can see it from one angle.

A flute player hears four beats per second when she compares her note to a 523 HzHz tuning fork (the note C). She can match the

laiz [17]

Answer:

527 Hz

Solution:

As per the question:

Beat frequency of the player, $\Delta f = 4\ beats/s$

Frequency of the tuning fork, f = 523 Hz

Now,

The initial frequency can be calculated as:

$\Delta f = f - f_{i}$

$f_{i} = f \pm \Delta f$

when

$f_{i} = f + \Delta f = 523 + 4 = 527 Hz$

when

$f_{i} = f - \Delta f = 523 - 4 = 519 Hz$

But we know that as the length of the flute increases the frequency decreases

Hence, the initial frequency must be 527 Hz
