Explain how the absorption of sound waves differs from the transmission of sound waves

1 answer:

4 0

When a sound wave meets an obstacle, some of the sound is reflected back from the front surface and some of the sound passes into the obstacle material, where it is absorbed or transmitted through the material.

Reflection and absorption are dependent on the wavelength of the sound. The percentage of the sound transmitted through an obstacle depends on how much sound is reflected and how much is absorbed. We are assuming that the obstacle is relatively large, such that no sound passes around the edges.

To pull an old stump out of the ground, you and a friend tie two ropes to the stump. You pull on it with a force of 500 N to the

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

C. less than 950 N.

Explanation:

Given that

Force in north direction F₁ = 500 N

Force in the northwest F₂ = 450 N

Lets take resultant force R

The angle between force = θ

θ = 45°

The resultant force R

$R=\sqrt{F_1^2+F_2^2+2F_1F_2cos\theta}$

$R=\sqrt{500^2+450^2+2\times 450\times 500\times cos\theta}$

R= 877.89 N

Therefore resultant force is less than 950 N.

C. less than 950 N

Note- When these two force will act in the same direction then the resultant force will be 950 N.

The left end of a long glass rod 8.00 cm in diameter, with an index of refraction 1.60, is ground to a concave hemispherical sur

sp2606 [1]

Answer:

a) q = -9.23 cm, b) h’= 0.577 mm , c) image is right and virtual

Explanation:

This is an optical exercise, where the constructor equation should be used

1 / f = 1 / p + 1 / q

Where f is the focal length, p the distance to the object and q the distance to the image

A) The cocal distance is framed with the relationship

1 / f = (n₂-1) (1 /R₁ -1 /R₂)

In this case we have a rod whereby the first surface is flat R1 =∞ and the second surface R2 = -4 cm, the sign is for being concave

1 / f = (1.60 -1) (1 /∞ - 1 / (-4))

1 / f = 0.6 / 4 = 0.15

f = 6.67 cm

We have the distance to the object p = 24.0 cm, let's calculate

1 / q = 1 / f - 1 / p

1 / q = 1 / 6.67 - 1/24

1 / q = 0.15 - 0.04167 = 0.10833

q = -9.23 cm

distance to the negative image is before the lens

B) the magnification of the lenses is given by

M = h ’/ h = - q / p

h’= - q / p h

h’= - (-9.23) / 24.0 0.150

h’= 0.05759 cm

h’= 0.577 mm

C) the object is after the focal length, therefore, the image is right and virtual

Two objects of the same size are both perfect blackbodies. One has a temperature of 3000 K, so its frequency of maximum emission

bija089 [108]

Answer:

a) The colder body (3000k), b) hearter body c) 12000K body

Explanation:

This exercise should know the power emitted by the objects and the distribution of this emission in the energy spectrum, for this we will use Stefan's laws and that of Wien's displacement

Stefan's Law P = σ A e T⁴

Wien displacement law λ T = 2,898 10⁻³ m K

Let's calculate the power emitted for each object.

As they are perfect black bodies e = 1, they also indicate that they have the same area

T = 3000K

P₁ = σ A T₁⁴

T = 12000K

P₂ = σ A T₂⁴

P₂ / P₁ = T₂⁴ / T₁⁴

P₂ / P₁ = (12000/3000)⁴

P₂ / P₁ = 256

This indicates that the hottest body emission is 256 times the coldest body emission.

Let's calculate the maximum emission wavelength

Body 1

T = 3000K

λ T = 2,898 10-3

λ₁ = 2.89810-3 / T

λ₁ = 2,898 10-3 / 3000

λ₁ = 0.966 10-6 m

λ₁ = 966 nm

T = 12000K

λ₂ = 2,898 10-3 / 12000

λ₂ = 0.2415 10-6 m

λ₂ = 214 nm

a) The colder body (3000k) emits more light in the infrared, since the emission of the hot body is at a minimum (emission tail)

b) The two bodies have emission in this region, the body of 3000K in the part of rise of the emission and the body to 12000K in the descent of the emission even when this body emits 256 times more than the other, so this body should have the highest broadcast in this area

c) The emission of the hottest 12000K body is mainly in UV

d) The hottest body emits more energy in UV and visible

e) No body has greater emission in all zones
