How does diffraction enable somebody to hear your voice from anywhere in the room?

1 answer:

4 0

Diffraction means spreading out of waves that has the same wavelength as the size of the gap. Sound waves have high wavelength and so it diffracts\spreads out and enables anyone to hear your voice from anywhere outside the room.

For inside the room, the sound waves doesn't actually diffract. They collide with the air particles, causing a series of compressions and rarefactions which spreads out in the air particles and anyone can hear your voice.

Air is the medium for the sound waves to travel.

An empty glass beaker has a mass of 103 g. When filled with water, it has a total mass of 361g.

aivan3 [116]

Answer:

0.96 gcm¯³

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass of empty beaker = 103 g

Mass of beaker + water = 361 g

Mass of beaker + oil = 351 g

Density of water = 1 gcm¯³

Density of cooking oil =?

Next, we shall determine the mass of water. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass of empty beaker = 103 g

Mass of beaker + water = 361 g

Mass of water =?

Mass of water = (Mass of beaker + water) – (Mass of empty beaker)

Mass of water = 361 – 103

Mass of water = 258 g

Next, we shall determine the volume of the beaker. This can be obtained by calculating the volume of water in the beaker.

Density of water = 1 gcm¯³

Mass of water = 258 g

Volume of water =?

Density = mass /volume

1 = 258 / volume

Cross multiply

1 × volume = 258

Volume of water = 258 cm³

Thus the volume of the beaker is 258 cm³.

Next, we shall determine the mass of the cooking oil. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass of empty beaker = 103 g

Mass of beaker + oil = 351 g

Mass of cooking oil =?

Mass of cooking oil = (Mass of beaker + oil) – (Mass of empty beaker)

Mass of cooking oil = 351 – 103

Mass of cooking oil = 248 g

Finally, we shall determine the density of the cooking oil. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass of cooking oil = 248 g

Volume of the beaker = 258 cm³

Density of cooking oil =?

Density = mass / volume

Density = 248 / 258

Density of cooking oil = 0.96 gcm¯³

An 800 kHz radio signal is detected at a point 3.2 km distant from a transmitter tower. The electric field amplitude of the sign

hammer [34]

Answer:

1.07 nT

Explanation:

We know that E/B = c where E = electric field amplitude = 320 mV/m = 0.32 V/m, B = magnetic field amplitude and c = speed of light = 3 × 10⁸ m/s.

So, B = E/c

Substituting E and c into B, we have

B = E/c

= 0.32 V/m ÷ 3 × 10⁸ m/s

= 0.1067 × 10⁻⁸ T

= 1.067 × 10⁻⁹ T

= 1.067 nT

≅ 1.07 nT

Which type of electromagnetic radiation may damage central nervous system

Furkat [3]

Answer:

microwaves

Explanation:

microwaves do emit radiation, technically speaking, but it's not the DNA-damaging radiation we're used to hearing about. Microwaves, along with radio waves from (you guessed it) radio and cell phone towers, are types of non-ionizing radiation.
