Learning Goal: To understand the nature of a sound wave, including its properties: frequency, wavelength, loudness, pitch, and t

imbre.
Sound is a phenomenon that we experience constantly in our everyday life. Therefore, it is important to understand the physical nature of a sound wave and its properties to correct common misconceptions about sound propagation.
Most generally, a sound wave is a longitudinal wave that propagates in a medium (i.e., air). The particles in the medium oscillate back and forth along the direction of motion of the wave. This displacement of the particles generates a sequence of compressions and rarefactions of the medium. Thus, a sound wave can also be described in terms of pressure variations that travel through the medium. The pressure fluctuates at the same frequency with which the particles’ positions oscillate.
When the human ear perceives sound, it recognizes a series of pressure fluctuations rather than displacements of individual air particles.

Part A

Based on the information presented in the introduction of this problem, what is a sound wave?

A. Propagation of sound particles that are different from the particles that comprise the medium
B. Propagation of energy that does not require a medium
C. Propagation of pressure fluctuations in a medium
D. Propagation of energy that passes through empty spaces between the particles that comprise the medium

Part B

Having established that a sound wave corresponds to pressure fluctuations in the medium, what can you conclude about the direction in which such pressure fluctuations travel?

A. The direction of motion of pressure fluctuations is independent of the direction of motion of the sound wave.
B. Pressure fluctuations travel perpendicularly to the direction of propagation of the sound wave.
C. Pressure fluctuations travel along the direction of propagation of the sound wave.

Part C

Does air play a role in the propagation of the human voice from one end of a lecture hall to the other?

A. yes
B. no

A source at rest emits light of wavelength 500 nm. When it is moving at 0.90c toward an observer, the observer detects light of
Vesna [10]

Answer:

The observer detects light of wavelength is 115 nm.

(b) is correct option

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength of source = 500 nm

Velocity = 0.90 c

We need to calculate the wavelength of observer

Using Doppler effect

\lambda_{o}=\sqrt{\dfrac{1-\beta}{1+\beta}}\lambda_{s}

Where, \beta=\dfrac{c}{v}

\lambda_{o}=\sqrt{\dfrac{c-0.90c}{c+0.90c}}\times500\times10^{-9}

\lambda_{o}=115\ nm

Hence, The observer detects light of wavelength is 115 nm.

In a 49 s interval, 595 hailstones strike a glass window of an area of 0.954 m at an angle of 25° to the window surface. Each ha
eduard

Average  force on the window: 0.32 N

Explanation:

The average force exerted on the window is given by Newton's second law

F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}

where

\Delta p is the net change in momentum of the hailstones in a time interval of \Delta t

In order to find the change in momentum, we have to consider only the component of the hailstone's momentum perpendicular to the window, therefore:

p_i =m u sin \theta is the initial momentum of one hailstone, with

m = 7 g = 0.007 kg is the mass

u=4.5 m/s is the initial speed

\theta=25^{\circ} is the angle with the window

The final momentum is

p_f = mv sin \theta

where

v = 4.5 m/s is the final speed (the  collision is elastic so the speed is equal, while the direction changes)

\theta=-25^{\circ} (after the rebound, the direction has changed)

So the change in momentum of 1 hailstone is

\Delta p = mv sin(-25^{\circ})-mu sin(25^{\circ})=-2mu sin(25^{\circ})=-0.0266 kg m/s

We are interested only in the magnitude, so

\Delta p = 0.0266 kg m/s

There are 595 hailstones hitting the window in 49 s, so the total change in momentum is

\Delta p = 595\cdot 0.0266 = 15.8 kg m/s

And therefore, the average force on the window is

F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}=\frac{15.8}{49}=0.32 N

Two resistors, R1 and R2, are
dlinn [17]

The reciprocal of the total resistance is equal to the sum of the reciprocals of the component resistances:

1/(120.7 Ω) = 1/<em>R₁</em> + 1/(221.0 Ω)

1/<em>R₁</em> = 1/(120.7 Ω) - 1/(221.0 Ω)

<em>R₁</em> = 1 / (1/(120.7 Ω) - 1/(221.0 Ω)) ≈ 265.9 Ω
