Which instrument produces the sound of a single frequency?

NO musical instrument produces a 'pure' tone with only a
single frequency in it.

EVERY instrument produces more or less harmonics (multiples)
in addition to the basic frequency it's playing.

The percussion instruments (drums etc) are the richest producers
of bunches of different frequencies.

Fuzzy electric guitars are next richest.

The strings and brass instruments are moderate producers of
harmonics ... I can't remember which is greater than the other.

Then come the woodwinds ... clarinet, oboe, etc.

The closest to 'pure' tones of single frequency are the sounds
made by the flute and piccolo, but even these are far from 'pure'.

The only way to get a true single-frequency sound is from an
electronic 'sine wave' generator.

Three equal 1.60-μCμC point charges are placed at the corners of an equilateral triangle with sides 0.800 mm long. What is the p
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

= 0.086J

Explanation:

we are given three equal charges q₁ q₂ q₃ = 1.60 μC

sides of triangle = 0.800m

U = 1/4πε₀(3q²/r)

1/4πε₀ = 9.0 × 10⁹ N.m²/C²

U = 9.0 × 10⁹ ((3 * 1.60 × 10⁻⁶)² / (0.800))

= 0.086J

What characteristics of EM waves did you discover?
jarptica [38.1K]

The characteristics of electromagnetic waves typically represent as follows:

  • There are changes in the electric and magnetic fields simultaneously so that both fields have maximum and minimum values ​​at the same time and place.
  • The direction of the electric field and the magnetic field are perpendicular to each other. The direction of both is perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation.
  • The shape of electromagnetic waves is transverse waves.
  • It has general wave characteristics like polarization, reflection, refraction, interference, and diffraction.
  • The amount of the electric field (E) is directly proportional to the magnitude of the magnetic field, with the relationship E = cB.
  • The universal constant of the velocity of electromagnetic waves in a vacuum is \boxed{ \ c = 3 \times 10^8 \ m/s. \ }
  • The speed at which electromagnetic waves propagate depends merely on the electrical and magnetic properties of the medium that it travels on.
  • Because electromagnetic waves do not contain an electric charge, they do not experience any possible deviation in the electric or magnetic fields.
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
  • Two physicists who contributed significantly to developing the concept of electromagnetic waves are Faraday and Maxwell around 1831-1864.
  • From the observations, Faraday suggested that changes in the magnetic field cause an electric charge to flow in the loop of wire, contributing in the emergence of an electric field.
  • Maxwell proposed a reverse process, which is a change in the electric field will generate a magnetic field.
  • As follows, according to Faraday's Law, changes in sinusoidal magnetic fields generate electric fields which also change sinusoidally.
  • Meantime, according to Maxwell's Hypothesis, changes in sinusoidal electric fields generate magnetic fields which also change sinusoidally.
  • Furthermore, there is a process of combining electric and magnetic fields that propagate in all directions called electromagnetic waves.
