Answer:

= 16 , length will be decreased by a factor of 16

Explanation:

One octave apart corresponds to twice the frequency and thus half the length. Two octaves apart will correspond to 4 times the frequency and the length will be reduced by a factor of 4, that is 1/4 of the length.
Three octaves apart on the other hand corresponds to 8 times the frequency, thus length will be decreased by a factor of of 8, that is 1/8 of the length .
Four octaves apart corresponds to 16 times the frequency, therefore the length will be decreased by a factor of 16, that is 1/16 of the length.

1. Water boils at 100°C at sea level. If the water in this experiment did not boil at 100°C, what could be the reason?

umka2103 [35]

Answer:

It may not be at the sea level

Explanation:

The reason here is water only boils at sea level. This means that if you move water to a different height, say top of a mountain, the boiling temperature of water would change. This is due to the pressure drop at high place. The drop of pressure would make it harder to transform water liquid to gas, thus requiring more temperature.
