Is polarization possible for longitudinal waves ?

1 answer:

7 0

<span>"Longitudinal" is a polarization.A massive spin-1 boson has three possible polarizations: two transverse (like a photon), and one longitudinal.For purely longitudinal waves, such as sound waves in air, which cannot be transverse, we don't speak of polarization.</span>

A train whistle is heard at 300 Hz as the train approaches town. The train cuts its speed in half as it nears the station, and t

spin [16.1K]

Answer:

The speed of the train before and after slowing down is 22.12 m/s and 11.06 m/s, respectively.

Explanation:

We can calculate the speed of the train using the Doppler equation:

$f = f_{0}\frac{v + v_{o}}{v - v_{s}}$

Where:

f₀: is the emitted frequency

f: is the frequency heard by the observer

v: is the speed of the sound = 343 m/s

$v_{o}$ : is the speed of the observer = 0 (it is heard in the town)

$v_{s}$ : is the speed of the source =?

The frequency of the train before slowing down is given by:

$f_{b} = f_{0}\frac{v}{v - v_{s_{b}}}$ (1)

Now, the frequency of the train after slowing down is:

$f_{a} = f_{0}\frac{v}{v - v_{s_{a}}}$ (2)

Dividing equation (1) by (2) we have:

$\frac{f_{b}}{f_{a}} = \frac{f_{0}\frac{v}{v - v_{s_{b}}}}{f_{0}\frac{v}{v - v_{s_{a}}}}$

$\frac{f_{b}}{f_{a}} = \frac{v - v_{s_{a}}}{v - v_{s_{b}}}$ (3)

Also, we know that the speed of the train when it is slowing down is half the initial speed so:

$v_{s_{b}} = 2v_{s_{a}}$ (4)

Now, by entering equation (4) into (3) we have:

$\frac{f_{b}}{f_{a}} = \frac{v - v_{s_{a}}}{v - 2v_{s_{a}}}$

$\frac{300 Hz}{290 Hz} = \frac{343 m/s - v_{s_{a}}}{343 m/s - 2v_{s_{a}}}$

By solving the above equation for $v_{s_{a}}$ we can find the speed of the train after slowing down:

$v_{s_{a}} = 11.06 m/s$

Finally, the speed of the train before slowing down is:

$v_{s_{b}} = 11.06 m/s*2 = 22.12 m/s$

Therefore, the speed of the train before and after slowing down is 22.12 m/s and 11.06 m/s, respectively.

I hope it helps you!

In an engine, an almost ideal gas is compressed adiabatically to half its volume. In doing so, 1850 J of work is done on the gas

hammer [34]

Answer:

The value of change in internal energy of the gas = + 1850 J

Explanation:

Work done on the gas (W) = - 1850 J

Negative sign is due to work done on the system.

From the first law we know that Q = Δ U + W ------------- (1)

Where Q = Heat transfer to the gas

Δ U = Change in internal energy of the gas

W = work done on the gas

Since it is adiabatic compression of the gas so heat transfer to the gas is zero.

⇒ Q = 0

So from equation (1)

⇒ Δ U = - W ----------------- (2)

⇒ W = - 1850 J (Given)

⇒ Δ U = - (- 1850)

⇒ Δ U = + 1850 J

This is the value of change in internal energy of the gas.
