Horseshoe bats (genus Rhinolophus) emit sounds from their nostrils, then listen to the frequency of the sound reflected from the

ir prey to determine the prey's speed. (The "horseshoe" that gives the bat its name is a depression around the nostrils that acts like a focusing mirror, so that the bat emits sound in a narrow beam like a flashlight.) A Rhinolophus flying at speed vbat emits sound of frequency fbat; the sound it hears reflected from an insect flying toward it has a higher frequency frefl.If the bat emits a sound at a frequency of 80.7kHz and hears it reflected at a frequency of 83.1kHz while traveling at a speed of 4.3m/s , calculate the speed of the insect.Use 344m/s for the speed of sound in air. Express your answer using two significant figures.

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

This is the step by step explanation to the above question:

v_i = v [ f_L *(v - v_b) - f_s*(v + v_b)] / [f_L * (v - v_b) + f_s*(v +v_b)]

= v * (83.1 * (v-4.3) - 80.7 ( v+4.3))/ [83.1 *(v - 4.3) + 80.7*(v + 4.3)]

v = 344 m/s

vi = 344 * ( 83.1* (344-4.3) - 80.7*(344+4.3) ) / (83.1 *(344 - 4.3) + 80.7*(344 + 4.3))

= 0.74 m/s

A ray of light in air is incident on the mid-point of a heavy flint glass prism surface at an angle of 20º with the normal. for
Nata [24]
Assuming that you have a triangular prism, the ray of light will undergo refraction twice. The first time is the transition from air to flint glass on the entry face, and the second time is the transition from the flint glass to air from the exit face. With the available data, there are two possible solution since saying "20Âş from the normal" isn't enough information. Depending upon which side of the normal that 20 degrees is, the interior triangle will have the angles of 35, 90-r, and 55+r, or 35, 90+r, 55-r degrees where r is the angle from the normal after the 1st refraction. I will provide both possible solutions and you'll need to actually select the correct one based upon the actual geometry which I don't know because you didn't provide the figure or diagram that you were provided with.    

The equation for refraction is:  

(sin a1)/(sin a2) = n1/n2  

where  

a1,a2 = angles from the normal to the surface.  

n1,n2 = index of refraction for the transmission mediums.    

For this problem, we've been given an a1 of 20Âş and an n1 of 1.60. For n2, we will use air which at STP has an index of refraction of 1.00029. So  

(sin a1)/(sin a2) = n1/n2  

(sin 20)/(sin a2) = 1.00029/1.60  

0.342020143/(sin a2) = 0.62518125  

0.342020143 = 0.62518125(sin a2)  

0.547073578 = sin a2  

asin(0.547073578) = a2  

33.16647891 = a2    

So the angle from the normal INSIDE the prism is 33.2Âş. The resulting angle from the surface of the entry face will be either 90-33.2 or 90+33.2 depending upon the geometry. So the 2 possible triangles will be either 35Âş, 56.8Âş, 88.2Âş or 35Âş, 123.2Âş, 21.8Âş. with a resulting angle from the normal of either 1.8Âş or 68.2Âş. I can't tell you which one is correct since you didn't tell me which side of the normal the incoming ray came from. So let's calculate both possible exits.    

1.8Âş  

(sin a1)/(sin a2) = n1/n2  

(sin 1.8)/(sin a2) = 1.6/1.00029  

0.031410759/(sin a2) = 1.599536135  

0.031410759= 1.599536135(sin a2)  

0.019637418= sin(a2)  

asin(0.019637418) = a2  

1.125213477 = a2    

68.2Âş  

(sin a1)/(sin a2) = n1/n2  

(sin 68.2)/(sin a2) = 1.6/1.00029  

0.928485827/(sin a2) = 1.599536135  

0.928485827 = 1.599536135(sin a2)  

0.58047193 = sin a2 

 asin(0.58047193) = a2 

 35.48374252 = a2   

 So if the interior triangle is acute, the answer is 1.13Âş and if the interior triangle is obtuse, the answer is 35.48Âş

With what type of electromagnetic radiation would you observe:
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

Green part of the visible spectrum.

X ray part of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Infrared part of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Explanation:

Wien's displacement law

\lambda_{max}=\frac{b}{T}

Where, b = Wien's displacement constant = 2.898×10⁻³ mK

T = Temperature in kelvin

\lambda_{max}=\frac{2.898\times 10^{-3}}{5800}\\\Rightarrow\lambda_{max}=0.499\times 10^{-6}=0.5\mu m=500\ nm

So, the wavelength would be of around the green part of the visible spectrum.

\lambda_{max}=\frac{2.898\times 10^{-3}}{1\times 10^6}\\\Rightarrow\lambda_{max}=2.898\times 10^{-9}=2.898\ nm

So, the wavelength would be of around the X ray part of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Human body temperature = 37°C = 37+273.15 = 310.15 K

\lambda_{max}=\frac{2.898\times 10^{-3}}{37+273.15}\\\Rightarrow\lambda_{max}=\frac{2.898\times 10^{-3}}{310.15}\\\Rightarrow\lambda_{max}=9.34\times 10^{-6}=934\ nm

So, the wavelength would be of around the Infrared part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
