The waves from a radio station can reach a home receiver by two paths. One is a straight-line path from transmitter to home, a d

istance of 32.0 km. The second is by reflection from the ionosphere (a layer of ionized air molecules high in the atmosphere). Assume this reflection takes place at a point midway between receiver and transmitter, the wavelength broadcast by the radio station is 344 m, and no phase change occurs on reflection. Find the minimum height of the ionospheric layer that could produce destructive interference between the direct and reflected beams.

Answer:

Explanation:

The path of waves reaching directly and through reflection from ionosphere will form a isosceles triangle.

Let the height be h . This will be height of a triangle of equal side whose base is of length 32 km. we shall calculate the length of one side of this triangle .

this length be l

l² = 16² + h²

l =  √(256 +h² )

2l = 2√(256 +h² )

path difference = 2l - 32 km

For destructive interference

path difference = wavelength /2 for minimum height .

2l - 32  = .344/2

2√(256 +h² )- 32 = . 172

2√(256 +h² ) = 32.172

4(256 +h² ) = 1035

(256 +h² ) = 258.76

h² = 2.76

h = 1.66 km

Sound waves are a longitudinal wave that have a speed of about 340 m/s when traveling through room temperature air. What is the
AlexFokin [52]

The wavelength of the wave is 0.055 m

Explanation:

The relationship between speed, frequency and wavelength of a wave is given by the wave equation:

v=f\lambda

where

v is the speed

f is the frequency

\lambda is the wavelength

For the sound wave in this problem we have

v = 340 m/s is the speed

f = 6,191 Hz is the frequency

Solving for \lambda, we find the wavelength:

\lambda=\frac{v}{f}=\frac{340}{6191}=0.055 m

Find the position of the center of mass of the system of the sun and Jupiter? (Since Jupiter is more massive than the rest of th
8090 [49]

Answer:

r_{cm} = 0.074 m from the position of the center of the Sun

Explanation:

As we know that mass of Sun and Jupiter is given as

M_s = 1.98 \times 10^{30} kg

M_j = 1.89 \times 10^{27} kg

distance between Sun and Jupiter is given as

r = 7.78 \times 10^{11} m

now let the position of Sun is origin and position of Jupiter is given at the position same as the distance between them

so we will have

r_{cm} = \frac{M_s r_1 + M_j r_2}{M_s + M_j}

r_{cm} = \frac{1.98 \times 10^{30} (0) + (1.89 \times 10^{27})(7.78 \times 10^{11})}{1.98 \times 10^{30} + 1.89 \times 10^{27}}

r_{cm} = 0.074 m from the position of the center of the Sun
