Complete Question

A commuter train passes a passenger platform at a constant speed of 39.6 m/s. The train horn is sounded at its characteristic frequency of 350 Hz.

(a)

What overall change in frequency is detected by a person on the platform as the train moves from approaching to receding

(b) What wavelength is detected by a person on the platform as the train approaches?

 

Answer:

a

  \Delta  f  =  81.93 \ Hz

b

  \lambda_1 =  0.867 \ m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

      The speed of the train is  v_t  =  39.6 m/s

      The frequency of the train horn is  f_t =  350 \ Hz

Generally the speed of sound has a constant values of  v_s  =  343 m/s

  Now  according to dopplers equation when the train(source) approaches a person on the platform(observe) then the frequency on the sound observed by the observer can be mathematically represented as  

        f_1 =  f *   \frac{v_s}{v_s - v_t}

substituting values

        f_1 =  350 *  \frac{343 }{343-39.6}

       f_1 =  395.7 \ Hz

  Now  according to dopplers equation when the train(source) moves away from  the  person on the platform(observe) then the frequency on the sound observed by the observer can be mathematically represented as  

           f_2 =  f *   \frac{v_s}{v_s +v_t}

substituting values

        f_2 =  350 *   \frac{343}{343  + 39.6}

       f_2 =  313.77 \ Hz

The overall change in frequency is detected by a person on the platform as the train moves from approaching to receding is mathematically evaluated as

        \Delta  f  =  f_1 - f_2

        \Delta  f  =  395.7 - 313.77

        \Delta  f  =  81.93 \ Hz

Generally the wavelength detected by the person as the train approaches  is mathematically represented  as

          \lambda_1 =  \frac{v}{f_1 }

          \lambda_1 =  \frac{343}{395.7 }

         \lambda_1 =  0.867 \ m

Boiling water is a common method used to sterilize water that may be contaminated. subjecting microbes to such high temperatures
GaryK [48]

Boiling water is a common method used to sterilize water that may be contaminated. subjecting microbes to such high temperatures is an example of a(n) microbicidal technique.

A substance that eliminates microorganisms (such as bacteria) is known as microbicide and the techniques that involve destruction of microbes are known as microbicidal techniques.

The pathogen biofilm was effectively destroyed by the combined microbicidal effects of hot water (50, 60, or 70 °C) and 2% citric acid. It was discovered that the combination of hot water and citric acid caused sub-lethally harmed cells.

A fairly easy way to disinfect water is to boil it. The majority of dangerous organisms, notably viruses and bacteria that cause waterborne infections, are killed when water is heated to a high temperature of 100°C. The water must boil for at least 20 minutes in order to be most effective.

Hence, water that may be polluted is frequently sterilized by boiling. Using such high temperatures to kill germs is an example of a microbicidal method.

In a certain two slit diffraction experiment, two slits 0.02mm wide are spaced0.2mm between centers.(a) How many fringes appear
Kamila [148]

Answer:

a)   m = 10  and    b)  λ  = 3.119 10⁻⁷ m

Explanation:

In the diffraction experiments the maximums appear due to the interference phenomenon modulated by the envelope of the diffraction phenomenon, for which to find the number of lines within the maximum diffraction center we must relate the equations of the two phenomena.

Interference equation      d sin θ = m λ

Diffraction equation         a sin θ = n λ

Where d is the width between slits (d = 0.2 mm), a is the width of each slit (a = 0.02 mm). θ is the angle, λ the wavelength, m and n  are an integer.

Let's find the relationship of these two equations

    d sin θ / a sin θ = m Lam / n Lam

The first maximum diffraction (envelope) occurs for n = 1, let's simplify

    d / a = m

Let's calculate

    m = 0.2 / 0.02

    m = 10

This means that 10 interference lines appear within the first maximum diffraction.

b) let's use the interference equation, remember that the angles must be given in radians

    θ = 0.17 ° (π rad / 180 °) = 2.97 10⁻³ rad

    d sin  θ = m λ

    λ = d sin θ / m

    λ = 0.2 10⁻³ sin (2.97 10⁻³) / 2

    λ  = 3.119 10⁻⁷ m

Is a neutron star also a black hole?
coldgirl [10]

No.  A neutron star is the weird remains of a star that blew its outer layers off
in a nova event, and then had enough mass left so that gravity crushed its
electrons into its protons, and then what was left of it shrank down to a sphere
of unimaginably dense neutron soup.  But it didn't have enough mass to go
any farther than that.

A black hole is the remains of a star that had enough mass to go even farther
than that.  No force in the universe was able to stop it from contracting, so it
kept contracting until its mass occupied no volume ... zero.  It became even
more weird, and is composed of a substance that we don't know anything about
and can't describe, and occupies zero volume.

Contrary to popular fairy tales, a black hole doesn't reach out and "suck things in".
It's just so small (zero) that things can get very close to it.  You know that gravity
gets stronger as you get closer to an object, so if the object has no size at all, you
can get really really close to it, and THAT's where the gravity gets really strong.
You may weigh, let's say, 100 pounds on the Earth.  But you're like 4,000 miles
from the center of the Earth.  What if all of the earth's mass was crammed into
the size of a bean.  Then you could get 1 inch from it, and at that distance from
the mass of the Earth, you would weigh 25,344,000,000 pounds. 
But Earth's mass is not enough to make a black hole.  That takes a minimum
of about 3 times the mass of the sun, which is right about 1 million times the
Earth's mass.   THEN you can get a lightweight black hole.
Do you see how it works now ?

I know.  It all seems too fantastic to be true. 
It sure does.
