A sound wave (a periodic longitudinal wave) from a loudspeaker travels from air into water. The frequency of the wave does not c

hange, because the loudspeaker producing the sound determines the frequency. The speed of sound in air is 343 m/s, whereas the speed in fresh water is 1482 m/s. When the sound wave enters the water, does its wavelength increase, decrease, or remain the same

Answer:

When the sound wave enters the water its wavelength increase.

Explanation:

Given:

Speed of sound in air v = 343 \frac{m}{s}

Speed of sound in fresh water v' = 1482 \frac{m}{s}

We know that when wave travel into one medium to another medium frequency doesn't change.

Velocity is given by,

  v = f \lambda

In above equation frequency is constant,

So when sound wave enters the water wavelength increase because speed sound is increase in water as compare to air.

Therefore, when the sound wave enters the water its wavelength increase.

An engineer in a locomotive sees a car stuck on the track at a railroad crossing in front of the train. When the engineer first
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

The right answer is "1.369 m/s²".

Explanation:

The given values are:

Distance (s)

= 260 m

Initial speed (u)

= 26 m/s

Reaction time (t')

= 0.51 s

During reaction time, the distance travelled by locomotive will be:

⇒  s'=ut'

        =26\times 0.51

        =13.26 \ m

Remained distance between locomotive and car:

⇒  x=s-s'

         =260-13.26

         =246.74 \ m

Now,

The final velocity to avoid collection is, V = 0 m/s

From third equation of motion:

⇒  V^2=u^2+2ax

On putting the estimated values, we get

⇒  0=(26)^2+2\times a\times 246.74

⇒  0=676+493.48a

⇒  493.48a=-676

⇒            a=-\frac{676}{493.48}

⇒            a=1.369 \ m/s^2

is plugged into the outlet of a 120−V circuit that has a 20−A circuit breaker. You plug an electric hair dryer into the same out
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

Given the point of maximun electric power of the hair dryer 1500 (w); The circuit breaker won´t trip at all

Explanation:

The most simplyfied  relation between power, voltage and current is:

Electric power (in watts) =Voltage (in volts) * current (in ampers)

In the case of P= 1500 (w) and V= 120 (v) we have:

I = 1500/120 (a)    = 12,65 (a)

This value  is far away of 20 (a) (the nominal trip current

1)Light of wavelength 588.0 nm is incident on a narrow slit. The diffraction pattern is viewed on a screen 55.5 cm from the slit
Talja [164]

Answer:

These are Diffraction Grating Questions.

Q1. To determine the width of the slit in micrometers (μm), we will need to use the expression for distance along the screen from the center maximum to the nth minimum on one side:  

Given as  

y = nDλ/w                                                       Eqn 1

where  

w = width of slit  

D = distance to screen  

λ = wavelength of light  

n = order number  

Making x the subject of the formula gives,  

w = nDλ/y  

Given  

y = 0.0149 m  

D = 0.555 m  

λ = 588 x 10-9 m  

and n = 3

w = 6.6x10⁻⁵m

Hence, the width of the slit w, in micrometers (μm) = 66μm

Q2. To determine the linear distance Δx, between the ninth order maximum and the fifth order maximum on the screen

i.e we have to find the difference between distance along the screen (y₉-y₅) = Δx

Recall Eqn 1,     y = nDλ/w  

given, D = 27cm = 0.27m  

λ = 632 x 10-9 m  

w = 0.1mm = 1.0x10⁻⁴m

For the 9th order, n = 9,

y₉ = 9 x 0.27 x 632 x 10-9/ 1.0x10⁻⁴m = 0.015m

Similarly, for n = 5,

y₅ = 5x 0.27 x 632 x 10-9/ 1.0x10⁻⁴m = 0.0085m

Recall,  Δx = (y₉-y₅) = 0.015 - 0.0085 = 0.0065m

Hence, the linear distance Δx between the ninth order maximum and the fifth order maximum on the screen = 6.5mm
