Complete Question

Due to blurring caused by atmospheric distortion, the best resolution that can be obtained by a normal, earth-based, visible-light telescope is about 0.3 arcsecond (there are 60 arcminutes in a degree and 60 arcseconds in an arcminute).Using Rayleigh's criterion, calculate the diameter of an earth-based telescope that gives this resolution with 700 nm light

Answer:

The diameter is $D = 0.59 \ m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The best resolution is $\theta = 0.3 \ arcsecond$

The wavelength is $\lambda = 700 \ nm = 700 *10^{-9 } \ m$

Generally the

1 arcminute = > 60 arcseconds

=> x arcminute => 0.3 arcsecond

So

$x = \frac{0.3}{60 }$

=> $x = 0.005 \ arcminutes$

Now

60 arcminutes => 1 degree

0.005 arcminutes = > z degrees

=> $z = \frac{0.005}{60 }$

=> $z = 8.333 *10^{-5} \ degree$

Converting to radian

$\theta = z = 8.333 *10^{-5} * 0.01745 = 1.454 *10^{-6} \ radian$

Generally the resolution is mathematically represented as

$\theta = \frac{1.22 * \lambda }{ D}$

=> $D = \frac{1.22 * \lambda }{\theta }$

=> $D = \frac{1.22 * 700 *10^{-9} }{ 1.454 *10^{-6} }$

=> $D = 0.59 \ m$

A child has an ear canal that is 1.3 cm long. Assume the speed of sound is v = 344 m/s.

kap26 [50]

Answer:

The frequencies are $(f, f_1) = (6615.4 \ Hz , 19846.2\ Hz)$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The length of the ear canal is $l = 1.3 \ cm =\frac{1.3}{100} = 0.013 \ m$

The speed of sound is assumed to be $v_s = 344 \ m/s$

Now taking look at a typical ear canal we see that we assume it is a closed pipe

Now the fundamental harmonics for the pipe(ear canal) is mathematically represented as

$f = \frac{v_s}{4 * l }$

substituting values

$f = \frac{344}{4 * 0.013 }$

$f = 6615.4 \ Hz$

Also the the second harmonic for the pipe (ear canal) is mathematically represented as

$f_1 = \frac{3v_s}{4 * l}$

substituting values

$f_1 = \frac{3 * 344}{4 * 0.013}$

$f_1 = 19846.2 \ Hz$

Given that sound would be loudest in the pipe at the frequency, it implies that the child will have an increased audible sensitivity at this frequencies
