The frequency of note C3 is 131 $s^{-1}$ .

<u>Explanation:</u>

Frequency is the measure of repetition of same thing a certain number of times. So frequency is inversely proportional to the wavelength. As wavelength is distance between two successive crests or troughs in a sound wave.

And frequency is the completion of number of cycles in a given time in sound waves. The frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional to each other with velocity of sound being the proportionality constant.

Thus, here the speed of sound is given as 343 m/s, the wavelength of the note is also given as 2.62 m, then frequency will be as follows:

$Frequency=\frac{speed of sound}{Wavelength of note}$

Thus,

$Frequency = \frac{343 m/s}{2.62 m} = 131 s^{-1}$

So the frequency of note C3 is 131 $s^{-1}$ .

The sound from a single source can reach point O by two different paths. One path is 20.0 m long and the second path is 21.0 m l

aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

minimum frequency = 170 Hz

Explanation:

given data

One path long = 20 m

second path long = 21 m

speed of sound = 340 m/s

solution

we get here destructive phase that is path difference of minimum $\frac{\lambda}{2}$

here λ is the wavelength of the wave

so path difference will be

21 - 20 = $\frac{\lambda}{2}$

λ = 2 m

and

velocity that is express as

velocity = frequency × wavelength .............1

frequency = $\frac{340}{2}$

minimum frequency = 170 Hz

A plane electromagnetic wave travels northward. At one instant, its electric field has a magnitude of 9.6 V/m and points eastwar

lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

The values is $B = 3.2 *10^{-8} \ T$

The direction is out of the plane

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The magnitude of the electric field is $E = 9.6 \ V/m$

The magnitude of the magnetic field is mathematically represented as

$B = \frac{E}{c}$

where c is the speed of light with value

$B = \frac{ 9.6}{3.0 *10^{8}}$

$B = 3.2 *10^{-8} \ T$

Given that the direction off the electromagnetic wave( c ) is northward(y-plane ) and the electric field(E) is eastward(x-plane ) then the magnetic field will be acting in the out of the page (z-plane )
