Suppose that the sound level of a conversation is initially at an angry 71 dB and then drops to a soothing 54 dB. Assuming that

the frequency of the sound is 504 Hz, determine the (a) initial and (b) final sound intensities and the (c) initial and (d) final sound wave amplitudes. Assume the speed of sound is 346 m/s and the air density is 1.21 kg/m3.

Answer:

Explanation:

In the decibel scale , intensity of sound changes logarithmically as follows

10log\frac{I}{I_0} = Value in decibel scale , the value of I₀ = 10⁻¹² W /m².

Putting the values

10log\frac{I}{10^{-12}} = 71

log\frac{I}{10^{-12}} = 7.1

\frac{I}{10^{-12}} = 10^{7.1}

I= 10^{-4.9} W/m²

Similarly for 54 dB sound intensity can be given as follows

I = 10⁻¹² x 10^{5.4}

I= 10^{-6.6 } W / m²

For intensity of sound the relation is as follows

I = 2π²υ²A²ρc where υ is frequency , A is amplitude , ρ is density of air and c is velocity of sound .

Putting the given values for 71 dB

I= 10^{-4.9}  = 2π² x 504²xA²x 1.21 x  346

A² = 60.03 x 10⁻¹⁶

A = 7.74 x 10⁻⁸ m

For 54 dB sound

10^{-6.6} = 2π² x 504²xA²x 1.21 x  346

A² = 1.1978 x 10⁻¹⁶

A = 1.1 x 10⁻⁸ m

Freezing Point Depression: Can someone explain this formula to me? ΔTf = Kfcm
Leya [2.2K]
If the solution is treated as an ideal solution, the extent of freezing point depression depends only on the solute concentration that can be estimated by a simple linear relationship with the cryoscopic constant: ΔTF = KF · m · i ΔTF, the freezing point depression, is defined as TF (pure solvent) - TF (solution). KF, the cryoscopic constant, which is dependent on the properties of the solvent, not the solute. Note: When conducting experiments, a higher KF value makes it easier to observe larger drops in the freezing point. For water, KF = 1.853 K·kg/mol.[1] m is the molality (mol solute per kg of solvent) i is the van 't Hoff factor (number of solute particles per mol, e.g. i = 2 for NaCl).

How do i get a bf and how do i start to talk to him? I have this one crush and we have not even said one word to each other, Hes
taurus [48]
First introduce yourself. Start talking to him little by little. Compliment him, that’ll help. Make some jokes, and talk about stuff he is interested in. Make conversation. Try not to be overbearing.

What will occur when the waves peak at the same place at the same time?
dedylja [7]
Hello!

This is a matter of superposition.
When the waves peak at the same time and place, they produce constructive interference, meaning the waves interact together in a positive way, to make a wave with Amplitude of both waves added together. When the peaks differ however, at the same time and place, then it is destructive interference and the waves essentially cancel each other out.

Hope this helps. Any questions please just ask. Thank you kindly.

Mr. Galonski loves to use the Electromagnetic Spectrum. Create a scenario in which Mr. Galonski is using waves from the electrom
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

The Scenario:

On a normal Sunday afternoon Mr. Golanski is sitting in his living room reading his book. He decides after a while to turn on the Television to see what’s on the news, (Mr. Golanski is using Radio waves when he turns his television on by signaling the TV from his remote control). After a few hours Mr. Golanski decides it’s time to have dinner. He heats up a quick meal in his microwave because he doesn’t have the patience for cooking. (He is using microwave radiation to heat his food because water molecules in food absorb the radiation). He sits down for his meal, and halfway through he starts to choke! In a panicked frenzy he runs to his bathroom to try and dislodge the obstacle from his throat. By doing so he switched on the fluorescent lights in his bathroom exposing himself to small amounts of ultraviolet radiation. (Fluorescent lights absorb UV radiation and transmit visible light along with small amounts of UV light). Unable to dislodge the obstacle from his throat Mr. Golanski seeks help from his neighbor who drives him straight to the ER. To treat him properly the physicians opt for a fluoroscopy to examine Mr. Golanski’s esophageal tract. (Thus he is making use of X-ray imaging to obtain a visual of his internal esophageal structure to check for the obstruction). Once treated and discharged from the hospital Mr. Golanski returns home grateful to have survived this ordeal with minimum damage.

Explanation:

The Electromagnetic Spectrum is the range of frequencies and wavelengths for different light waves. They range with increasing frequency from Radio waves, to Microwaves, to Infrared waves, to Visible waves, to Ultraviolet waves, to Infrared waves, to X-rays, and to Gamma rays. Several of which we use in our daily lives such as Radio waves when operating our television or using our cellular phones. We also use microwaves to heat our food or for communication with satellites. We are also exposed to natural Ultraviolet radiation from the sun; however, we can also get exposed to other forms such as from certain types of light bulbs. We see visible light in the form of all the colors we can detect around us. We make use of x-rays for imaging techniques widely used in medicine for diagnostics, as well as Infrared waves in our home security systems. The electromagnetic spectrum is always used as a part of our everyday life.

Suppose for your cookout you need to make 100 hamburgers. You know that 2.00 pounds will make 9 hamburgers. How many pounds will
VMariaS [17]
2 pounds = 9 burgers figure out ow many 9's you can get out of 100: 100/9=11 but that only makes 99 you need 100 so we would add another one making 12. now multiply 12 by 2: 12·2=24. You would need 24 pounds of meet :)
