Answer:

0.75%

Explanation:

Measured value of melting point of potassium thiocyanate = 174.5 °C

Actual value of melting point of potassium thiocyanate = 173.2 °C

<em>Error in the reading = |Experimental value - Theoretical value|</em>

<em>= |174.5 - 173.2|</em>

<em>= |1.3|</em>

<em>Percentage error = (Error / Theoretical value) × 100</em>

<em>= (1.3 / 173.2)×100</em>

<em>= 0.75 %</em>

∴ Percentage error in the reading is 0.75%

Dominik [7]

Answer:

2270 full wavelengths.

Explanation:

The wavelength \lambda of the sound wave (assuming sound speed of  v= 343m/s) is

\lambda = \dfrac{v}{f} = \dfrac{343m/s}{400hz}

\lambda = 0.8575m.

Now, assuming the distance to the last row is 1947m, the number n of wavelengths that fit into this distance are

n = \dfrac{1947m}{0.8575m}

n= 2270.55

which is 2270 full wavelengths.

Hence, there are 2270 full wavelengths between the stage and the last row of the crowd.
