Standing waves can ruin the acoustics of a concert hall if there is excessive reflection of the sound waves that the performers

generate. For example, suppose a performer generates a 2093 Hz tone. Of a large amplitude standing wave is present, it is possible for a listener to move a distance of only 4.1 cm and hear the loudness of the tone change from loud to faint. Account for this observation in terms of standing waves, pointing out why the distance is 4.1 cm.

Answer:

The answer to the questions is;

In terms of standing waves, the listener moves from a location with high amplitude to one with lower amplitude or vibration (anti-node to node)

The distance 4.1 cm is equivalent to λ/4

Explanation:

For standing waves we have is a stationary wave comprising of two opposite direction moving waves that have equal amplitude and frequency, resulting in the superimposition of the waves. As such certain points are fixed along the wave path that is the peaks amplitude of the wave oscillation is constant at a particular point. A node occurring at a point and an anti-node occurring at another fixed point

When the listener moves 4.1 cm he or she has left the anti-node to the node hence the faintness of the sound

The distance from the node to the anti-node is 1/4 wavelength, or 1/4×λ

Therefore 4.1 cm is λ/4

A silver wire 2.6 mm in diameter transfers a charge of 420 C in 80 min. Silver contains 5.8 x 10- free electrons per cubic meter
kifflom [539]

Answer:

a). 87.5 mA or 87.5 x10^{-3}A

b). 1.78 \frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

d=2.6 mm \\Q=420C\\t=80min\\n=5.8x10^{28} \\q=1.6x10^{-19}

n the number of free electrons is 28 in text reference and if they don't give q is take as the charge of electron.

a).

I=\frac{Q}{t}\\ I= \frac{420 C}{80 min}*\frac{1min}{60 s} =\frac{420 C}{4800s}\\  I=87.5 x10^{-3}A

b).

I=n*abs (q)*V_{d}*A

A= \pi * (\frac{d}{2})^{2} \\A=\pi (*\frac{2.6x10^{-3} m}{2})^{2}  \\A=5.309x10^{-6}

V_{d} =\frac{I}{n*abs(q)*A} \\V_{d}=\frac{87.5 x10^{-2} }{5.8x^10{28} *1.6x^{-19} *5.3x^{6} }\\V_{d}=1.78 \frac{m}{s}

All of the following have been associated with amount of cortisol within the body except __________. A. experiencing problems wi
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer: B. development of female sex

Development of female sex characteristic is not associated with the amount of cortisol in the body.

Explanation:

Cortisol is a steroid hormone secreted by the adrenal gland. It facilitates stress response, regulates blood sugar level and helps fight infections. High cortisol level leads to Cushing syndrome and low cortisol level leads to Addison disease.

Obesity is a  symptom of Cushing syndrome while weight loss is a symptom of Addison disease. Thus levels of cortisol can affect body weight as well.  When in a stressful situation, our body pumps excess cortisol.

Cortisol level in our body is generally high in the mornings and low in the midnight.
