The correct option is C.
The pitch of a string refers to the quality of sound that is produced by the string when it vibrates. There are three basic factors that affect the quality of pitch of a string, these are: the tension, the thickness of the string and the length of the string. The higher the thickness of the string, the lower the pitch of the string, thus, increasing the thickness of the string will lower the pitch.
Answer:
C. Destructive interference
Explanation:
<em>Destructive interference</em> is when there are two waves <u>with the same frequency</u>, and the peaks of one wave (the highest points) line up with the valleys (the lowest points) of the second one.
Constructive interference would cause the sound to be louder.
Absorption and reflection are interactions that would not take into account the fact that the headphones produce sounds.
We can set up an ICE table for the reaction:
HClO H+ ClO-
Initial 0.0375 0 0
Change -x +x +x
Equilibrium 0.0375-x x x
We calculate [H+] from Ka:
Ka = 3.0x10^-8 = [H+][ClO-]/[HClO] = (x)(x)/(0.0375-x)
Approximating that x is negligible compared to 0.0375 simplifies the equation to
3.0x10^-8 = (x)(x)/0.0375
3.0x10^-8 = x2/0.0375
x2 = (3.0x10^-8)(0.0375) = 1.125x10^-9
x = sqrt(1.125x10^-9) = 0.0000335 = 3.35x10^-5 = [H+]
in which 0.0000335 is indeed negligible compared to 0.0375.
We can now calculate pH:
pH = -log [H+] = - log (3.35 x 10^-5) = 4.47
