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

Every 6 seconds a pendulum completes one cycle. 
Basile [38]

The period is the time it takes any repeating process
to complete one cycle.  You just told us what it is for the
pendulum . . . 6 seconds.

The frequency is the reciprocal of the period.  For the pendulum,
that's

                 1 / (6 sec) = (1/6) per second = 1/6 Hertz .

What fraction of the space within the atom is occupied by the nucleus?
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

Approximately 6.8 x 10⁻¹⁵

Explanation:

To be able to get this fraction, there are some things we need to know.

1. The radius of nucleus = 1.0 x 10⁻¹³ cm

2. The radius of hydrogen atom = 52.9 pm

3. Volume of sphere = V1/V2 = (R1/R2)^3

4. 1 picometer (pm) = 10^-10 cm
