A particularly beautiful note reaching your ear from a rare Stradivarius violin has a wavelength of 39.1 cm. The room is slightl

y warm, so the speed of sound is 344 m/s. Part A If the string's linear density is 0.660 g/mg/m and the tension is 160 NN , how long is the vibrating section of the violin string

Given Information:  

Wavelength =  λ = 39.1 cm = 0.391 m

speed of sound = v = 344 m/s

linear density = μ = 0.660 g/m = 0.00066 kg/m

tension = T = 160 N

Required Information:

Length of the vibrating string = L = ?

Answer:

Length of the vibrating string = 0.28 m

Explanation:

The frequency of beautiful note is

f = v/λ

f = 344/0.391

f = 879.79 Hz

As we know, the speed of the wave is

v = √T/μ

v = √160/0.00066

v = 492.36 m/s

The wavelength of the string is

λ = v/f

λ = 492.36/879.79

λ = 0.5596 m

and finally the length of the vibrating string is

λ = 2L

L = λ/2

L = 0.5596/2

L = 0.28 m

Therefore, the vibrating section of the violin string is 0.28 m long.

What would the weight of an astronaut be on Saturn if his mass is 68 kg and acceleration of gravity on Saturn is 10.44 m/s2? Ple
alex41 [277]

Here's the part you need to know:

       (Weight of anything) =

                 (the thing's mass)
times
                 (acceleration of gravity in the place where the thing is) .

                 Weight = (mass ) x (gravity) .

That's always true everywhere.
You should memorize it.

For the astronaut on Saturn . . .

                   Weight = (mass ) x (gravity) .

                
  Weight =  (68 kg) x (10.44 m/s²)

                        
      =    709.92 newtons .
__________________________________

On Earth, gravity is only  9.8 m/s².
So as long as the astronaut is on Earth, his weight is only

                                   (68 kg) x (9.8 m/s²)

                               =    666.4 newtons .

Notice that his mass is his mass ... it doesn't change
no matter where he goes. 

But his weight changes in different places, because
it depends on the gravity in each place.

An electromagnetic wave of wavelength
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

4.01\cdot 10^{-7} m

Explanation:

When an electromagnetic wave passes through the interface between two mediums, it undergoes refraction, which means that it bents and its speed and its wavelength change.

In particular, the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave in a certain medium is related to the index of refraction of the medium by:

\lambda=\frac{\lambda_0}{n}

where

\lambda_0 is the wavelength in a vacuum (air is a good approximation of vacuum)

n is the refractive index of the medium

In this problem:

\lambda_0 = 5.89\cdot 10^{-7} m is the original wavelength of the wave

n = 1.47 is the index of refraction of corn oil

Therefore, the wavelength of the electromagnetic wave in corn oil is:

\lambda=\frac{5.89\cdot 10^{-7}}{1.47}=4.01\cdot 10^{-7} m
