A police radar gun uses X-band microwave radiation at a frequency of 12.2 GHz. Microwaves travel at the speed of light, or 3x108

m/s. Since the frequency shift will be small for practical car speeds and difficult to detect, the shifted frequency is compared to the original frequency, and the resulting beat frequency is used to determine the speed of the car. Prof Chesnutt is driving down the road, and her speed is measured by a friendly officer of the law sitting by the side of the road.
what is the resulting beat frequency that the radar gun detects?

Answer:

A police radar gun uses X-band microwave radiation at a frequency of 13.1 GHz. Microwaves travel at the speed of light, or 3x108 m/s. Since the frequency shift will be small for practical car speeds and difficult to detect, the shifted frequency is compared to the original frequency, and the resulting beat frequency is used to determine the speed of the car.

a.) If Michael is traveling at 29 m/s, what is the resulting beat frequency that the radar gun detects?

ANSWER: 2533 Hz

Argon makes up 0.93% by volume of air. Calculate its solubility (in mol/L) in water at 20°C and 1.0 atm. The Henry's law constan
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

S= 1.40x10⁻⁵mol/L

Explanation:

The Henry's Law is given by the next expression:

S = k_{H} \cdot p (1)

<em>where S: is the solubility or concentration of Ar in water, k_{H}: is Henry's law constant and p: is the pressure of the Ar </em>

<u>Since the argon is 0.93%, we need to multiply the equation (1) by this percent:</u>

S = 1.5 \cdot 10^{-3} \frac{mol}{L\cdot atm} \cdot 1.0atm \cdot \frac{0.93}{100} = 1.40 \cdot 10^{-5} \frac{mol}{L}

Therefore, the argon solubility in water is 1.40x10⁻⁵mol/L.

Have a nice day!

If you blow across the open end of a soda bottle and produce a tone of 250 Hz, what will be the frequency of the next harmonic h
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

Generally, the lowest overtone for a pipe open at one end and closed would be at  y / 4  where y represents lambda, the wavelength.

Since F (frequency) = c / y       Speed/wavelength

F2 / F1 = y1 / y2      because c is the same in both cases

F2 = y1/y2 * F1

F2 = 3 F1 = 750 /sec

Note that L = y1 / 4 = 3 y2 / 4 for these wavelengths to fit in the pipe

and y1 = 3 y2
