How does the speed of sound in water compare to the speed of sound in air

Coherent light with wavelength 599 nm passes through two very narrow slits with separation of 20 μm, and the interference patter

goblinko [34]

Answer:

134.77 mm

Explanation:

Wave length of light λ = 599 x 10⁻⁹ m

Slit separation d = 20 x 10⁻⁶ m

Screen distance D = 3 m

Distance of second dark fringe from centre

= 1.5 x λ D / d

Putting the values given above

distance = $\frac{1.5\times599\times10^{-9}\times 3}{20\times10^{-6}}$

= 134.77 x 10⁻³ m

= 134.77 mm.

A point charge q1=+5.00nC is at the fixed position x=0, y=0, z=0. You find that you must do 8.10×10−6J of work to bring a second

Maru [420]

The value of the second charge is 1.2 nC.

<h3>Electric potential</h3>

The work done in moving the charge from infinity to the given position is calculated as follows;

W = Eq₂

E = W/q₂

<h3>Magnitude of second charge</h3>

The magnitude of the second charge is determined by applying Coulomb's law.

$E = \frac{kq_2}{r^2} \\\\\frac{kq_2}{r^2} = \frac{W}{q_2} \\\\kq_2^2 = Wr^2\\\\q_2^2 = \frac{Wr^2}{k} \\\\q_2 = \sqrt{\frac{Wr^2}{k} } \\\\q_2 = \sqrt{\frac{(8.1 \times 10^{-6}) \times (0.04)^2}{9\times 10^9} } \\\\q_2 = 1.2 \times 10^{-9} \ C\\\\q_2 = 1.2 \ nC$

Thus, the value of the second charge is 1.2 nC.

Recall from Chapter 1 that a watt is a unit of en- ergy per unit time, and one watt (W) is equal to one joule per second ( J·s–1

harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

The energy of a photon is given by the equation $E_p=h f$ , where h is the <em>Planck constant</em> and f the frequency of the photon. Thus, N photons of frequency f will give an energy of $E_N=N h f$ .

We also know that frequency and wavelength are related by $f=\frac{c}{\lambda}$ , so we have $E_N=\frac{N h c}{\lambda}$ , where c is the <em>speed of light</em>.

We will want the number of photons, so we can write

$N=\frac{\lambda E_N}{h c}$

We need to know then how much energy do we have to calculate N. The equation of power is $P=E/t$ , so for the power we have and considering 1 second we can calculate the total energy, and then only consider the 4% of it which will produce light, or better said, the N photons, which means it will be $E_N$ .

Putting this paragraph in equations:

$E_N=(\frac{4}{100})E=0.04Pt=(0.04)(100W)(1s)=4J$ .

And then we can substitute everything in our equation for number of photons, in S.I. and getting the values of constants from tables:

$N=\frac{\lambda E_N}{h c}=\frac{(520 \times10^{-9}m) (4J)}{(6.626\times10^{-34}Js) (299792458m/s)}=1.047 \times10^{19}$

You are traveling in a car toward a hill at a speed of 36.4 mph. The car's horn emits sound waves of frequency 231 Hz, which mov

Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

<em>a. The frequency with which the waves strike the hill is 242.61 Hz</em>

<em>b. The frequency of the reflected sound wave is 254.23 Hz</em>

<em>c. The beat frequency produced by the direct and reflected sound is </em>

Explanation:

Part A

The car is the source of our sound, and the frequency of the sound wave it emits is given as 231 Hz. The speed of sound given can be used to determine the other frequencies, as expressed below;

$f_{1} = f[\frac{v_{s} }{v_{s} -v} ]$ ..............................1

where $f_{1}$ is the frequency of the wave as it strikes the hill;

f is the frequency of the produced by the horn of the car = 231 Hz;

$v_{s}$ is the speed of sound = 340 m/s;

v is the speed of the car = 36.4 mph

Converting the speed of the car from mph to m/s we have ;

hint (1 mile = 1609 m, 1 hr = 3600 secs)

v = $36.4 mph *\frac{1609 m}{1 mile} *\frac{1 hr}{3600 secs}$

v = 16.27 m/s

Substituting into equation 1 we have

$f_{1}$ = $231 Hz (\frac{340 m/s}{340 m/s - 16.27 m/s})$

$f_{1}$ = 242.61 Hz.

Therefore, the frequency which the wave strikes the hill is 242.61 Hz.

Part B

At this point, the hill is the stationary point while the driver is the observer moving towards the hill that is stationary. The frequency of the sound waves reflecting the driver can be obtained using equation 2;

$f_{2} = f_{1} [\frac{v_{s}+v }{v_{s} } ]$

where $f_{2}$ is the frequency of the reflected sound;

$f_{1}$ is the frequency which the wave strikes the hill = 242.61 Hz;

$v_{s}$ is the speed of sound = 340 m/s;

v is the speed of the car = 16.27 m/s.

Substituting our values into equation 1 we have;

$f_{2} = 242.61 Hz [\frac{340 m/s+16.27 m/s }{340 m/s } ]$

$f_{2}$ = 254.23 Hz.

Therefore, the frequency of the reflected sound is 254.23 Hz.

Part C

The beat frequency is the change in frequency between the frequency of the direct sound and the reflected sound. This can be obtained as follows;

Δf = $f_{2}$ - $f_{1}$

The parameters as specified in Part A and B;

Δf = 254.23 Hz - 242.61 Hz

Δf = 11.62 Hz

Therefore the beat frequency produced by the direct and reflected sound is 11.62 Hz
