Wind or gravitational pull. A wave is made by friction between wind and the water’s surface. Waves can also be made by the sun and moon’s gravitational pull on the earth.

As you stand near a railroad track, a train passes by at a speed of 31.7 m/s while sounding its horn at a frequency of 218 Hz. W
Darya [45]

Explanation:

Given that,

Frequency of train horn, f = 218 Hz

Speed of train, v_t = 31.7 m/s

The speed of sound, V = 344 m/s (say)

The speed of the observed person, V_o=0\ m/s

(a) When the train approaches you, the Doppler's effect gives the frequency as follows :

f'=f(\dfrac{V}{V-v_t})\\\\f'=218\times (\dfrac{344}{344-31.7})\\\\f'=240.12\ Hz

(b) When the train moves away from you, the Doppler's effect gives the frequency as follows :

f'=f(\dfrac{V}{V+v_t})\\\\f'=218\times (\dfrac{344}{344+31.7})\\\\f'=199.6\ Hz

Hence, this is the required solution.

Seeing a police officer ahead and not being sure of the speed limit, a driver slows from 65 mi/hr to 55 mi/hr in 4.0 seconds, tr
Flauer [41]

Answer:

-1.13 m/s^2

Explanation:

The acceleration of the car is given by:

a=\frac{v-u}{t}

where

v is the  final velocity

u is the initial velocity

t is the time

Here we have to convert the velocities from mi/hr to m/s. Keeping in mind that

1 mi = 1609 m

1 h = 3600 s

We get:

u = 65 mi/h \cdot \frac{1609}{3600}=29.1 m/s\\v = 55 mi/h \cdot \frac{1609}{3600}=24.6 m/s

While the time interval is

t = 4.0 s

Substituting,

a=\frac{24.6 - 29.1}{4.0}=-1.13 m/s^2

Green light (λ = 518 nm) strikes a single slit at normal incidence. What width slit will produce a central maximum that is 3.00
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

6.9066 × 10⁻⁵ m

Explanation:

For constructive interference, the expression is:

d\times sin\theta=m\times \lambda

Where, m = 1, 2, .....

d is the distance between the slits.

The formula can be written as:

sin\theta=\frac {\lambda}{d}\times m ....1

The location of the bright fringe is determined by :

y=L\times tan\theta

Where, L is the distance between the slit and the screen.

For small angle , sin\theta=tan\theta

So,  

Formula becomes:

y=L\times sin\theta

Using 1, we get:

y=L\times \frac {\lambda}{d}\times m

Thus, the distance between the central maximum is 3.00 cm

First bright fringe , m = 1 occur at 3.00 / 2 = 1.50 cm

Since,

1 cm = 0.01 m

y = 0.0150 m

Given L = 2.00 m

λ = 518 nm

Since, 1 nm = 10⁻⁹ m

So,

λ = 518 × 10⁻⁹ m

Applying the formula as:

0.0150\ m=2.00\ m\times \frac {518\times 10^{-9}\ m}{d}\times 1

<u>⇒ d, distance between the slits = 6.9066 × 10⁻⁵ m</u>
