Two loudspeakers emit sound waves along the x-axis. The sound has maximum intensity when the speakers are 20 cm apart. The sound

intensity decreases as the distance between the speakers is increased, reaching zero at a separation of 30 cm.
a. What is the wavelength of the sound?
b. If the distance between the speakers continues to increase, at what separation will the sound intensity again be a maximum?

Answer:

a. Wavelength = λ = 20 cm

b. Next distance of maximum intensity will be 40 cm

Explanation:

a. The distance between the two speakers is 20cm. SInce the intensity is maximum which refers that we have constructive interference and the phase difference must be an even multiple of π and equivalent path difference is nλ.

Now when distance increases upto 30 cm between the speakers, the sound intensity becomes zero which means that there is destructive interference and equivalent path is now increased from nλ to nλ + λ/2.

This we get the equation:

(nλ + λ/2) - nλ = 30-20

λ/2 = 10

λ = 20 cm

b. at what distance, sound intensity will be maximum again.

For next point calculation for maximum sound intensity, the path difference must be increased (n+1) λ. The distance must increase by λ/2 from the point of zero intensity.

= 30 + λ/2

= 30 + 20/2

=30+10

=40 cm

A 2.0 µF capacitor is charged through a 50,000 ohm resistor. How long does it take for the capacitor to reach 90% of full charge
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

0.23 s

Explanation:

First of all, let's find the time constant of the circuit:

\tau=RC

where

R=50,000 \Omega is the resistance

C=2.0\mu F=2.0\cdot 10^{-6}F is the capacitance

Substituting,

\tau=(50,000 \Omega)(2.0\cdot 10^{-6}F)=0.1 s

The charge on a charging capacitor is given by

Q(t)=Q_0 (1-e^{-t/\tau} ) (1)

where

Q_0 is the full charge

we want to find the time t at which the capacitor reaches 90% of the full charge, so the time t at which

Q(t)=0.90 Q_0

Substituting this into eq.(1) we find

0.90 Q_0 = Q_0 (1-e^{-t/\tau})\\0.90=1-e^{-t/\tau}\\e^{-t/\tau}=1-0.90=0.10\\-\frac{t}{\tau}=ln(0.10)\\t=-\tau ln(0.10)=(0.1 s)ln(0.10)=0.23 s

the solubility product of lead fluoride is 3.6 x 10–8. what is its solubility in 0.10M NaF solution, in grams per liter
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

8.8 × 10⁻³ g/L

Explanation:

NaF is a strong electrolyte that ionizes according to the following reaction.

NaF(aq) → Na⁺(aq) + F⁻(aq)

Then, the concentration of F⁻ will also be 0.10 M.

In order to find the solubility of PbF₂ (S), we will use an ICE Chart.

        PbF₂(s) ⇄ Pb²⁺(aq) + 2 F⁻(aq)

I                           0                0.10

C                         +S               +2S

E                          S              0.10 + 2S

The solubility product (Kps) is:

Kps = 3.6 × 10⁻⁸ = [Pb²⁺].[F⁻]² = S . (0.10 + 2S)²

In the term 0.10 + 2S, 2S is negligible in comparison with 0.10 and we can omit it to simplify calculations.

Kps = 3.6 × 10⁻⁸ = S . (0.10)²

S = 3.6 × 10⁻⁵ M

The molar mass of PbF₂ is 245.20 g/mol. The solubility of PbF₂ in g/L is:

3.6 × 10⁻⁵ mol/L × 245.20 g/mol = 8.8 × 10⁻³ g/L
