How does the surface tension of water compared with the surface tension of most other liquids?

1 answer:

5 0

Surface tension is the direct measure of the cohesive forces between liquid molecules that allows them to form "film", making it more difficult to move an object through the liquid surface. Compared to other known liqiuds, the surface tension of water is much greater.

A child has an ear canal that is 1.3 cm long. Assume the speed of sound is v = 344 m/s.

kap26 [50]

Answer:

The frequencies are $(f, f_1) = (6615.4 \ Hz , 19846.2\ Hz)$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The length of the ear canal is $l = 1.3 \ cm =\frac{1.3}{100} = 0.013 \ m$

The speed of sound is assumed to be $v_s = 344 \ m/s$

Now taking look at a typical ear canal we see that we assume it is a closed pipe

Now the fundamental harmonics for the pipe(ear canal) is mathematically represented as

$f = \frac{v_s}{4 * l }$

substituting values

$f = \frac{344}{4 * 0.013 }$

$f = 6615.4 \ Hz$

Also the the second harmonic for the pipe (ear canal) is mathematically represented as

$f_1 = \frac{3v_s}{4 * l}$

substituting values

$f_1 = \frac{3 * 344}{4 * 0.013}$

$f_1 = 19846.2 \ Hz$

Given that sound would be loudest in the pipe at the frequency, it implies that the child will have an increased audible sensitivity at this frequencies

Image distances for virtual images are always negative and it also forms on the the same side of the lens as the object and is enlarged

c) True

d) False

For a diverging lens, the focal length is negative while it is positive for a converging lens

e) False

Image distances for virtual images are always negative and it also forms on the the same side of the lens as the object and is enlarged
