An effect analogous to two-slit interference can occur with sound waves, instead of light. In an open field, two speakers placed

1.30 m apart are powered by a single function generator producing sine waves at 1200-Hz frequency. A student walks along a line 12.5 m away and parallel to the line between the speakers. She hears an alternating pattern of loud and quiet, due to constructive and destructive interference. What is : (a) the wavelength of this sound and (b) the distance between the central maximum and the first maximum (loud) position along this line

Answer:

2.72 m

Explanation:

wavelength of sound λ = velocity / frequency

= 340 / 1200

= .2833 m

Distance of point of  first constructive interference

= λ D / d ( D is distance of the screen and d is distance between source of sound.

Here D = 12.5 m

d = 1.3 m

λ D / d= ( .2833 x 12.5) / 1.3

= 2.72 m

Distance of point of  first constructive interference = 2.72 m

In figure 1, charge q2 experiences no net electric force. What is q1?
lukranit [14]

By using Coulomb's law, we want to find the value of q₁ given that q₂ experiences no net electric force. We will find that q₁ = 8nC

<h3>Working with Coulomb's law.</h3>

Coulomb's law says that for two charges q₁ and q₂ separated by a distance r, the force that each one experiences is:

F = k\frac{q_1*q_2}{r^2}

Where k is a constant

Here we can see that q₂ interacts with two charges, then the total force on q₂ will be:

F = k\frac{q_1*q_2}{(20cm)^2} + k\frac{-2nC*q_2}{(10cm)^2}

And we know that it must be equal to zero, so we can write it as:

F = k\frac{q_1*q_2}{(20cm)^2} + k\frac{-2nC*q_2}{(10cm)^2} = 0\\\\k*q_2*(\frac{q_1}{(20cm)^2} + \frac{-2nC}{(10cm)^2}) = 0\\

The parenthesis must be equal to zero, so we can write:

\frac{q_1}{(20cm)^2} + \frac{-2nC}{(10cm)^2} = 0

And now we can solve this for q₁ to get:

q_1  = 2nC*(\frac{(20cm)^2}{(10cm)^2} ) = 8nC

Some instruments differentiate individual quanta of electromagnetic radiation based on their energies. assume such an instrument
lesya [120]
There is a relationship between the energy of a photon and its wavelength. This can be expressed as a mathematical equation shown below:

E = hc/λ
where
h is the Planck's constant equal to 6.62607004 × 10⁻³⁴ m²<span> kg / s
c is the speed of light equal to 3</span>× 10⁸ m/s
λ is the wavelength

3.5×10⁻¹⁶ J = (6.62607004 × 10⁻³⁴ m² kg / s)(3× 10⁸ m/s)/λ
Solving for λ,
λ = 56.8×10⁻⁹ m or<em> 56.8 nm</em>

The path of a meteor passing Earth is affected by its gravitational force and falls to Earth's surface. Another meteor of the sa
Lina20 [59]

Answer: The correct answer is option (C).

Explanation:

As it is given in the problem, the path of a meteor passing Earth is affected by its gravitational force and falls to Earth's surface. Another meteor of the same mass falls to Jupiter's surface due to its gravitational force.

According to Newton's law of universal gravitational, every particle attracts every other particles in the universe with the gravitational force which is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

The Jupiter is the most massive planet in the solar system. It is also the largest planet in the solar system. The gravity of Jupiter on its surface is 2.4 times that of surface gravity of the Earth.

If a person weighs 100 pounds on the Earth then he would weigh 240 pounds on Jupiter.

Therefore, the correct answer is option (C), the meteor falls to Jupiter faster due to its greater gravitational force.

A violinist tuning her violin plays her A-string while sounding a tuning fork at A 415 Hz, and hears 5 beats per second. When sh
frutty [35]

Answer:410 Hz

Explanation:

It is given that frequency of tuning fork is 415 Hz and hears a beat of 5 beat per second

so untuned frequency must be either 410 Hz or 420 Hz because beat frequency is the difference in frequency of two notes.  

When she tightens the string the beat frequency decrease

and velocity v=\nu \lambda

where \nu =frequency

\lambda =wavelength

v=velocity

v=\sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu }}

where T=tension

it T increase v also increases and from 1 st equation frequency is also increasing therefore untuned frequency must be 410 Hz because beat frequency is decreasing.
