A trombone has a variable length. When a musician blows into the mouthpiece and causes air in the tube of the horn to vibrate, t

he waves set up by the vibrations reflect back and forth in the horn to create standing waves. As the length of horn is made shorter, what happens to the frequency?
A) The frequency will increase or decrease depending on how hard the horn player blows.
B) The frequency will increase
C) The frequency will decrease
D) The frequency will increase or decrease depending on the diameter of the horn.
E) The frequency will remain same

Answer:

B) The frequency will increase

Explanation:

The length of the instrument is given by

L=\dfrac{\lambda}{2}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=2L

Wavelength is given by

\lambda=\dfrac{v}{f}

\dfrac{v}{f}=2L\ or\ L\propto \dfrac{1}{f}

It can be seen that the length is inversely proportional to the frequency.

Here, the length of the trombone is decreasing so the frequency will increase.

Answer:

Species distribution

Explanation:

Species dispersion patterns—or distribution patterns—refer to how the individuals in a population are distributed in space at a given time. The individual organisms that make up a population can be more or less equally spaced.

A wave has a velocity of 24 m/s and a period of 3.0 s. Calculate the wavelength of the wave.
Katyanochek1 [597]

Velocity (unit:m/s) of the wave is given with the formula:

v=f∧,

where f is the frequency which tells us how many waves are passing a point per second (unit: Hz) and ∧ is the wavelength, which tells us the length of those waves in metres (unit:m)

f=1/T , where T is the period of the wave.

In our case: f=1/3

∧=v/f=24m/s/1/3=24*3=72m
