Answer:

The length is 8111.1 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed of tourist = 1.3 m/s

Distance = 9.0 km

Speed of light = 3.0 m/s

We need to calculate the length

Using formula of length

L= L_{0}\sqrt{1-(\dfrac{v}{c})^2}

Where, l = length

L_{0}=original length

v = speed of tourist

c = speed of light

Put the value into the formula

L=9000\times\sqrt{1-(\dfrac{1.3}{3.0})^2}

L=8111.1\ m

Hence, The length is 8111.1 m.

Answer:

The length of path according to the tourist is 8111.10 meters.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Speed of tourist, v = 1.3 m/s

Path length, L₀ = 9 km = 9000 m

If the speed of light in a vacuum were 3.0 m/s. We need to find the length of path according to the tourist. Let it is L. It is a case of length contraction.

So, L=L_0\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v^2}{c^2}}

L=9000\times \sqrt{1-\dfrac{(1.3)^2}{(3)^2}}

L = 8111.10 m

So, the length of path according to the tourist is 8111.10 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.

Shrill sound is of -------------- *
Leona [35]

Answer:

Higher frequency.

Explanation:

Sound are mechanical waves that are highly dependent on matter for their propagation and transmission.

Sound travels faster through solids than it does through either liquids or gases. A student could verify this statement by measuring the time required for sound to travel a set distance through a solid, a liquid, and a gas.

Mathematically, the speed of a sound is given by the formula:

Speed = wavelength * frequency

Generally, the frequency of a sound wave determines the pitch of the sound that would be heard.

A shrill sound refers to a type of sound that is typically sharp, high pitched and as such has higher frequency.

Hence, shrill sound is of higher frequency.

Determine the frequency of light whose wavelength is 4.257 x10-7 cm
Bas_tet [7]
<span>Frequency x Wavelength = Speed of light Now, speed of light = 3 x 10^5 km/s = 3 x 10^8 m/s = 3 x 10^10 cm/s Frequency = speed/Wavelength = (3 x 10^10)/(4.257 x 10^-7) =7 x 10^16 Hz</span>
