Before I tell you about the Fibonacci Ratio, I have to tell you first about the Fibonacci Series.

It's named for the guy who invented it ... Leonardo Pisano Bigollo Fibonacci, an Italian mathematician born in 1170 in Pisano, Italy.

The "Fibonacci Series" is a very special series of numbers.  We find things that proceed according to the Fibonacci Series all around us in Nature, and it's used in Art and Architecture.

To make the Fibonacci Series of numbers, first write down " 0, 1 ".  After that, add as many more numbers to the series as you want.  Get EACH new number by ADDING the last two numbers that you already have.  So the first 12 numbers of the series are:

0,   1,   1,   2,   3,   5,   8,   13,   21,   34,   55,   89  . . . . .

Each number is the SUM of the 2 numbers just before it.  Pretty easy.  But it has at least a thousand interesting things about it.  There have been whole books written about the series, and about the 'Fibonacci Ratio' that comes from the series.

Now for the Fibonacci Ratio:

A ratio is what you get when you divide two numbers.  Every fraction is a ratio.  Like, the ratio of 1/2 is 1÷2 = 0.5 .  The ratio of 2/5 is 2÷5 = 0.4 .  The ratio of a person's arms to legs is 2/2 = 1 .

To get the Fibonacci Ratio, take any pair of neighboring numbers in the Fibonacci Series and divide them.  

The first pair is (0, 1).  Their ratio is (0/1) = 0.  Not too interesting.

The next pair is (1, 1).  Their ratio is (1/1) = 1.  Still not very interesting.

The next pair is (1, 2).  Their ratio is (1/2) = 0.5 .  Weird.

The next pair is  (2, 3).  Their ratio is (2/3) = 0.66..  Is something happening ?

The next pair is (3, 5).  Their ratio is (3/5) = 0.60 .  something is definitely happening.

The next pair is (5, 8).  their ratio is (5/8) = 0.6250 .  Now they're sticking around 0.6 ?

The next pair is (8, 13). Their ratio is (8/13) = 0.6154 .  wow

The next pair is (13, 21).  Their ratio is (13/21) = 0.6190  not changed much

The next pair is (21, 34).  Their ratio is (21/34) = 0.6176  changed even less

The 11th pair is (55, 89). their ratio is (55/89) = 0.6180  smaller change

As you go along and keep taking the ratio of two neighbors in the Fibonacci Series, it almost looks like they're getting closer and closer to some special number where they want to settle down.  And that is true.  We've only looked at 11 pairs in the Fibonacci series, and their ratio is already settling down and changing very little from one pair to the next.

The number they're heading for is (1/2) · (1 + √5) .  

This is the "Golden Ratio".  It's the first ratio you get when you play around with the Fibonacci Series, like I just started showing you.

You can never write it down exactly with only numbers, because √5 is an "irrational number" that can never be completely written down as a decimal.  But you can get as close to it as you want to be, by using a longer piece of the Fibonacci Series, and carrying out the division to more decimal places.

A few weird things about it:

-- Take the number.  Divide 1 by it.  Add 1 to the answer.  You've got the number again.    [  F = 1/F + 1 ]

-- Since the time of the ancient Greeks, people have always felt that this number is the way to draw and shape things that are most pleasing to us.  

-- The (length/width) of several ancient Greek buildings is the Fibonacci Ratio.  

-- The dimensions of the face of the "Mona Lisa" painting by Leonardo DaVinci have the Fibonacci Ratio in them.  

-- If a snow plow starts out at 12:00 in a steadily-falling snow, and plows equal volumes of snow in equal amounts of time, and is able to make 2 miles of progress in the first hour and 1 mile of progress in the second hour, then the snow started falling (the Fibonacci Ratio of an hour) before 12:00 .

-- The leaves sprout out of a willow-tree twig in directions that are distributed according to the Fibonacci Series.

-- The patterns of markings on the back of a turtle's shell have the Fibonacci Ratio in them.

. . . and thousands of other Fibonacci things in nature.  You should go on line and read about some of them.

= = = = = = = = = =

The 20th pair in the Fibonacci Series:  (4181, 6765).

Some approximate numbers:

Their ratio is (4181, 6765) = 0.61803399...

The reciprocal is (6765/4181) = 1.61803396...

(1/2) (1 + √5) = 1.61803398...

1 / 1.61803399 = 0.6180398...

A stereo speaker produces a pure \"E\" tone, with a frequency of 329.6 Hz. What is the period of the sound wave produced by the
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

0.003034 s

1.035 m

4.5 m

Explanation:

f = frequency of the tone = 329.6 Hz

T = Time period of the sound wave

we know that, Time period and frequency are related as

T =\frac{1}{f}\\T =\frac{1}{329.6}\\T = 0.003034 s

v = speed of the sound in the air = 341 ms⁻¹

wavelength of the sound is given as

\lambda =\frac{v}{f} \\\lambda =\frac{341}{329.6}\\\lambda = 1.035 m

v = speed of the sound in the water = 1480 ms⁻¹

wavelength of the sound in water is given as

\lambda =\frac{v}{f} \\\lambda =\frac{1480}{329.6}\\\lambda = 4.5 m

An extension cord is used with an electric weed trimmer that has a resistance of 17.9 Ω. The extension cord is made of copper (r
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

(a) R_{c}=0.87ohms

(b) V_{T}=114.44V

Explanation:

Part (a)

The total length of copper cord L=86.3 m

The cross sectional area A=1.71×10⁻⁶m²

The resistivity of copper p=1.72×10⁻⁸Ω

Thus the resistance of extension cord is

R_{c}=p\frac{L}{A}\\R_{c}=(1.72*10^{-8} )\frac{86.3}{1.71*10^{-6}}\\R_{c}=0.87ohms

Part (b)

The resistance of trimmer Rt=17.9 ohms

When voltage of 120V is applied then the current I is passing through series circuit is

I=\frac{120V}{R_{c} +R_{T} }\\I=\frac{120V}{0.87 +17.9 } \\I=6.4A

Thus the voltage across the trimmer is:

V_{T}=IR_{T}\\V_{T}=(6.4)*(17.9)\\V_{T}=114.44V

Which of these statements best describes an effect of changes in Earth's magnetic field?
Sveta_85 [38]
The only statement that makes sense as to which one describes an effect of changes in Earth's magnetic field is the first one - <span>Southern lights are seen at high altitude places like Alaska.
Normally, Southern lights are seen around the South Pole, which means that it is quite odd for them to be seen in Alaska, which is near the North Pole.</span>

#1

As we are increasing the frequency in the simulation the wavelength is decreasing

So if speed remains constant then wavelength and frequency depends inversely on each other

If we are in boat and and moving over very small wavelengths then these small wavelength will be encountered continuously by the boat in short interval of times

#2

As we are changing the amplitude in the simulation there is no change in the speed frequency and wavelength.

So amplitude is independent of all these parameter

Amplitude of wave will decide the energy of wave

So light of greater intensity is the light of larger amplitude

#3

In our daily life we deal with two waves

1 sound waves

2 light waves

An automobile moves on a level horizontal road in a circle of radius 30 m. The coefficient of
blondinia [14]

Answer:

v = 12.12 m/s      

Explanation:

It is given that,

Radius of circle, r = 30 m

The coefficient friction between tires and road is 0.5,

The centripetal force is balanced by the force of friction such that,

v = 12.12 m/s

So, the maximum speed with which this car can round this curve is 12.12 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
