1. Frequency: $7.06\cdot 10^{14} Hz$

The frequency of a light wave is given by:

$f=\frac{c}{\lambda}$

where

$c=3\cdot 10^{-8} m/s$ is the speed of light

$\lambda$ is the wavelength of the wave

In this problem, we have light with wavelength

$\lambda=425 nm=425\cdot 10^{-9} m$

Substituting into the equation, we find the frequency:

$f=\frac{c}{\lambda}=\frac{3\cdot 10^{-8} m/s}{425\cdot 10^{-9} m}=7.06\cdot 10^{14} Hz$

2. Period: $1.42 \cdot 10^{-15}s$

The period of a wave is equal to the reciprocal of the frequency:

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

The frequency of this light wave is $7.06\cdot 10^{14} Hz$ (found in the previous exercise), so the period is:

$T=\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{7.06\cdot 10^{14} Hz}=1.42\cdot 10^{-15} s$

ANSWER:

frequency = 7.058*10^14 Hz

time period = 1.41*10^-15 s

EXPLANATION:

by formula

f = c / λ

c is constant which is = 3 * 10^8

λ is given = 425 * 10^-9 m

f= 3* 10^8 / 425 * 10^-9

f = 7.058*10^14 Hz

T= 1/f

T = 1 / 705882.3529

T= 1.41*10^ -15 s

A concert loudspeaker suspended high off the ground emits 34 W of sound power. A small microphone with a 1.0 cm2 area is 44 m fr

rjkz [21]

Answer:

Part A

I = 1.4 mW/m²

Part B

β = 91.46 dB

Explanation:

Part A

Sound intensity is the power per unit area of sound waves in a direction perpendicular to that area. Sound intensity is also called acoustic intensity.

For a spherical sound wave, the sound intensity is given by;

$I = \frac{P}{A}$

$I = \frac{P}{4\pi r^{2}}$

Where;

P is the source of power in watts (W)

I is the intensity of the sound in watt per square meter (W/m2)

r is the distance r away

Given:

P = 34 W,

A = 1.0 cm²

r = 44 m

The sound intensity at the position of the microphone is calculated to be;

$I = \frac{34}{4\pi (44)^{2}}$

I = 0.0013975 W/m²

≈ I = 0.0014 W/m² = 1.4 × 10⁻³ W/m²

I = 1.4 mW/m²

The sound intensity at the position of the microphone is 1.4 mW/m².

Part B

Sound intensity level or acoustic intensity level is the level of the intensity of a sound relative to a reference value. It is a a logarithmic quantity. It is denoted by β and expressed in nepers, bels, or decibels.

Sound intensity level is calculated as;

β $= 10log_{10}\frac{I}{I_{0}}$ dB

Where,

β is the Sound intensity level in decibels (dB)

I is the sound intensity;

I₀ is the reference sound intensity;

By pluging-in, I₀ is 1.0 × 10⁻¹² W/m²

∴ β $= 10log_{10}\frac{1.4 * 10^{-3} W/m^{2}}{1.0 * 10^{-12} W/m^{2}}$

β $= 10log_{10} (1.4 * 10^{9})$

β = 91.46 dB

The sound intensity level at the position of the microphone is 91.46 dB.

Find the mass and center of mass of the solid E with the given density function ρ. E lies under the plane z = 3 + x + y and abov

makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

The mass of the solid is 16 units.

The center of mass of the solid lies at (0.6875, 0.3542, 2.021)

Work:

Density function: ρ(x, y, z) = 8

x-bounds: [0, 1], y-bounds: [0, x], z-bounds: [0, x+y+3]

The mass M of the solid is given by:

M = ∫∫∫ρ(dV) = ∫∫∫ρ(dx)(dy)(dz) = ∫∫∫8(dx)(dy)(dz)

First integrate with respect to z:

∫∫8z(dx)(dy), evaluate z from 0 to x+y+3

= ∫∫[8x+8y+24](dx)(dy)

Then integrate with respect to y:

∫[8xy+4y²+24y]dx, evaluate y from 0 to x

= ∫[8x²+4x²+24x]dx

Finally integrate with respect to x:

[8x³/3+4x³/3+12x²], evaluate x from 0 to 1

= 8/3+4/3+12

= 16

The mass of the solid is 16 units.

Now we have to find the center of mass of the solid which requires calculating the center of mass in the x, y, and z dimensions.

The z-coordinate of the center of mass Z is given by:

Z = (1/M)∫∫∫ρz(dV) = (1/16)∫∫∫8z(dx)(dy)(dz)

Calculate the integral then divide the result by 16.

First integrate with respect to z:

∫∫4z²(dx)(dy), evaluate z from 0 to x+y+3

= ∫∫[4(x+y+3)²](dx)(dy)

= ∫∫[4x²+24x+8xy+4y²+24y+36](dx)(dy)

Then integrate with respect to y:

∫[4x²y+24xy+4xy²+4y³/3+12y²+36y]dx, evaluate y from 0 to x

= ∫[28x³/3+36x²+36x]dx

Finally integrate with respect to x:

[7x⁴/3+12x³+18x²], evaluate x from 0 to 1

= 7/3+12+18

Z = (7/3+12+18)/16 = 2.021

The y-coordinate of the center of mass Y is given by:

Y = (1/M)∫∫∫ρy(dV) = (1/16)∫∫∫8y(dx)(dy)(dz)

Calculate the integral then divide the result by 16.

First integrate with respect to z:

∫∫8yz(dx)(dy), evaluate z from 0 to x+y+3

= ∫∫[8xy+8y²+24y](dx)(dy)

Then integrate with respect to y:

∫[4xy²+8y³/3+12y²]dx, evaluate y from 0 to x

= ∫[20x³/3+12x²]dx

Finally integrate with respect to x:

[5x⁴/3+4x³], evaluate x from 0 to 1

= 5/3+4

Y = (5/3+4)/16 = 0.3542

The x-coordinate of the center of mass X is given by:

X = (1/M)∫∫∫ρx(dV) = (1/16)∫∫∫8x(dx)(dy)(dz)

Calculate the integral then divide the result by 16.

First integrate with respect to z:

∫∫8xz(dx)(dy), evaluate z from 0 to x+y+3

= ∫∫[8x²+8xy+24x](dx)(dy)

Then integrate with respect to y:

∫[8x²y+4xy²+24xy]dx, evaluate y from 0 to x

= ∫[12x³+24x²]dx

Finally integrate with respect to x:

[3x⁴+8x³], evaluate x from 0 to 1

= 3+8 = 11

X = 11/16 = 0.6875

The center of mass of the solid lies at (0.6875, 0.3542, 2.021)

Ron fills a beaker with glycerin (n = 1.473) to a depth of 5.0 cm. if he looks straight down through the glycerin surface, he wi

Tju [1.3M]

By law of refraction we know that image position and object positions are related to each other by following relation

$\frac{\mu_1}{h_o} = \frac{\mu_2}{h_i}$

here we know that

$\mu_1 = 1.473$

$h_o = 5 cm$

$\mu_2 = 1$

now by above formula

$\frac{1.473}{5} = \frac{1}{h_i}$

$h_i = 3.39 cm$

so apparent depth of the bottom is seen by the observer as h = 3.39 cm
