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?

Answer:

The frequency increases.

Explanation:

When the Musician draws the slide in the length of the horn gets shorter, which causes a decrease in the wavelength. A decrease in the wave length results in an increase in frequency.

Note:

The diameter of the horn has an effect on frequency, so a wider horn is effectively a long horn - open end correction ( distance between the the antinode and the open end of a pipe).

Frequency also depends on how hard the musician blows the trombone. The musician can change the frequency with the lip pressure being applied.

A long uniformly charged thread (linear charge density λ= 2.5 C/m) lies along the x axis in the figure.(Figure 1) A small charge
Kamila [148]

Answer 1) The electric field at distance r from the thread is radial and has magnitude  

E = λ / (2 π ε° r)  

The electric field from the point charge usually is observed to follow coulomb's law:  

E = Q / (4  π ε° r^{2})  

Now, adding the two field vectors:  

E_{thread}  =  {2.5 / (22 π ε° X 0.07 ) ; 0}  

Answer 2) E_{q}  = {2.3 / (4 2 π ε°) ( - 7/ (√(84); -12 / (√84))

Adding these two vectors will give the length which is magnitude of the combined field.  

The y-component / x-component gives the tangent of the angle with the positive x-axes.

Please refer the graph and the attachment for better understanding.

Lasers are now used in eye surgery. Given the wavelength of a certain laser is 514 nm and the power of the laser is 1.1 W, how m
Leno4ka [110]

Answer: 1.593*10^{17} photons released if the laser is used 0.056 s during the surgery

                           

Explanation:

First, you have to calculate the energy of each photon according to Einstein's theoty, given by:

                            E =\frac{hc}{\lambda}

Where \lambda is the wavelength, h is the Planck's constant and  h is the speed of light

              h = 6.626*10^{-34} \frac{m^{2} kg }{s}  -> Planck's constant

              c = 3*10^{8} \frac{m}{s}  -> Speed of light

So, replacing in the equation:

                E =\frac{ 6.626*10^{-34} \frac{m^{2} kg }{s}*3*10^{8} \frac{m}{s}}{514*10^-9 m}

Then, the energy of each released photon by the laser is:

                E = 3.867*10^{-19} \frac{J}{photons}

After, you do the inverse of the energy per phothon and as a result, you will have the number of photons in a Joule of energy:

               \frac{1}{3.867*10^{-19}} = 2.586*10^{18} \frac{photons}{J}

The power of the laser is 1.1 W, or 1.1 J/s, that means that you can calculate how many photons the laser realease every second:

              2.586*10^{18}\frac{photons}{J} * 1.1 \frac{J}{s} = 2.844*10^{18} \frac{photons}{s}

And by doing a simple rule of three, if 2.844*10^{18} photons are released every second, then in 0.056 s:

            0.056 s*2.844*10^{18} \frac{photons}{s} = 1.593*10^{17} photons are released during the surgery
