Amber asked her roommate to turn down the radio because she was trying to study. Her roommate had increased the volume from a vo

lume level of 14 to 15. This was just enough for Amber to detect the increase and subsequent decrease. Amber's detection of the increase and decrease of volume is an example of ________

Answer:

Difference threshold or also Just Noticeable Difference

Explanation:

The above mentioned case between room mates, where one room mate was able to detect a minute change in volume shows an instance of the difference threshold.

Difference threshold can be defined as stimulation at its minimum level that can be detected by an individual almost 50 % of the times.

It is the lowest possible level of sound that is detectable by a person.

That is what happened in the mentioned case that when the volume was increased from 14 to 15, Amber was able to detect it.

The plank is 5.1 meters long and has a mass of 9.2 kg, ack has a mass of 93.6 kg, and Diane has a mass of 64.2 kg. Assuming Dian

kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

The answer is 0.8 m

Explanation:

According the attached diagram, if we take the momentum in the point 0:

$\frac{m_{D}*5.1 }{2} =m_{J} *X$

Where

mD = mass of Diane = 64.2 kg

mJ = mass of Jack = 93.6 kg

Replacing:

$X=\frac{\frac{64.2*5.1}{2} }{93.6} =1.75m$

$\frac{L}{2} -X=Y=\frac{5.1}{2} -1.75\\Y=0.8m$

In si units, the electric field in an electromagnetic wave is described by ey = 104 sin(1.40 107x − ωt). (a) find the amplitude

melamori03 [73]

Answers:
(a) $B_o = 0.3466$ μT
(b) $\lambda = 0.4488$ μm
(c) f = $6.68 * 10^{14}Hz$

Explanation:
Given electric field(in y direction) equation:
$E_y = 104sin(1.40 * 10^7 x -\omega t)$

(a) The amplitude of electric field is $E_o = 104$ . Hence

The amplitude of magnetic field oscillations is $B_o = \frac{E_o}{c}$
Where c = speed of light

Therefore,
$B_o = \frac{104}{3*10^8} = 0.3466$ μT (Where T is in seconds--signifies the oscillations)

(b) To find the wavelength use:
$\frac{2 \pi }{\lambda} = 1.40 * 10^7$
$\lambda = \frac{2 \pi}{1.40} * 10^{-7}$
$\lambda = 0.4488$ μm

(c) Since c = fλ
=> f = c/λ

Now plug-in the values
f = (3*10^8)/(0.4488*10^-6)
f = $6.68 * 10^{14}Hz$

When a piano tuner strikes both the A on the piano and a 440 Hz tuning fork, he hears a beat every 2 seconds. The frequency of t

AysviL [449]

Answer:

The frequency is $f = 439.5 \ Hz$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The frequency of the tuning fork is $f_t = 440 \ Hz$

The beat period is $T = 2 \ s$

Generally the beat frequency is mathematically represented as

$f_b = \frac{1}{T}$

$f_b = \frac{1}{2}$

$f_b = 0.5 \ Hz$

The beat frequency is also represented mathematically as

$f_b = f_t - f$

Where $f$ is the frequency of the piano

So

$f = 440 - 0.5$

$f = 439.5 \ Hz$
