Assume that the wavelengths of photosynthetically active radiations (PAR) are uniformly distributed at integer nanometers in the

red spectrum rom 675 to 700 nm. 1. What is the mean of the wavelength distribution for this radiation? 2. What is the variance of the wavelength distribution for this radiation? 3. If instead, the wavelengths are uniformly distributed at integer nanometers from 75 to 100 nanometers, how do the mean and variance of the wavelength distribution compare to the original distribution? Briefly explain.

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

1. What is the mean of the wavelength distribution for this radiation?

Mean = (a+b)/2

= (675 + 700)/2

= 1375/2

= 687.5

2. What is the variance of the wavelength distribution for this radiation?

Variance= {(b-a+1)^2 - 1}/12

= {(700 - 675 + 1)-1}^2/12

= (26^2)-1/12

= 676-1/12

= 675/12

= 56.25

3. If instead, the wavelengths are uniformly distributed at integer nanometers from 75 to 100 nanometers, how do the mean and variance of the wavelength distribution compare to the original distribution?

New Mean = (a+b)/2

= (75 + 200)/2

= 175/2

= 87.5

New Variance= {(b-a+1)^2 - 1}/12

= {(100 - 75 + 1)-1}^2/12

= (26^2)-1/12

= 676-1/12

= 675/12

= 56.25

From the solutions, while the mean differs, the variance (56.25) is thesame due to the fact that variance depends on interval length and the first and second question has same interval length.

Two strings are adjusted to vibrate at exactly 202 Hz. Then the tension in one string isincreased slightly. Afterward, three bea
Semenov [28]

The concepts necessary to solve this problem are framed in the expression of string vibration frequency as well as the expression of the number of beats per second conditioned at two frequencies.

Mathematically, the frequency of the vibration of a string can be expressed as

f = \frac{1}{2L}\sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}

Where,

L = Vibrating length string

T = Tension in the string

\mu = Linear mass density

At the same time we have the expression for the number of beats described as

n = |f_1-f_2|

Where

f_1 = First frequency

f_2 = Second frequency

From the previously given data we can directly observe that the frequency is directly proportional to the root of the mechanical Tension:

f \propto \sqrt{T}

If we analyze carefully we can realize that when there is an increase in the frequency ratio on the tight string it increases. Therefore, the beats will be constituted under two waves; one from the first string and the second as a residue of the tight wave, as well

n = f_2-f_1

f_2 = n+f_1

Replacing 3/sfor n and 202Hz for f_1,

f_2 = 3/s + 202Hz

f_2 = 3/s(\frac{1Hz}{1/s})+202Hz

f_2 = 206Hz

The frequency of the tightened is 205Hz

What adaptation does a wood frog have that enable it to survive in deciduous forest ?
sweet [91]

Wood frogs have this adaptation where they accumulate urea in their bodies and convert their liver glycogen to glucose to act as cryoprotectants. This prevents the formation of ice crystals in their bodies that could cause damage cells during freezing in winter.
