On a good night, the front row of the Twisted Sister concert would surely result in a 120 dB sound level. An IPod produces 100 d

B. How many IPods would be needed to produce the same intensity as the front row of the Twisted Sister concert?

Answer:

100 iPods

Explanation:

The deciBell scale is logarithmic, and thus, it turns multiplying into adding.

Initially, it was the Bell scale, purely logarithmic, where "times 10" is translated into "plus 1" (just like normal logs). However, the steps became too big and so they divided the Bell in 10 parts, the deciBell.

The levels above could well have been called 10B and 12B.

Usually, we define the dB scale for intensity as:

I(dB) = 10•log(I)

Thus,

I = 10^(I(dB)/10)

Now 120 dB gives us units of I = 10^(120/10) = 10^12 Pa (assume the dB are measured to 1 Pa) and 100 dB is 10^10 Pa.

Thus, we would need 100 ipods to get the same intensity

A ray of light incident in water strikes the surface separating water from air making an angle of 10 ° with the normal to the su

labwork [276]

Answer:

a

$\theta _2 = 13^o$

b

$\theta _1 =32.94^o$

c

$\theta_c = 53.05^o$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The angle of incidence is $\theta_1 = 10^o$

The refractive index of water is $n_1 = 1.3$

Generally Snell's law is mathematically represented as

$n_1 sin(\theta_1) = n_2 sin(\theta_ 2)$

Here $n_2$ is the refractive index of air with value $n_2 = 1$

$\theta_2$ is the angle of refraction

So

$\theta _2 = sin^{-1}[\frac{n_1 * sin(\theta _1)}{n_2} ]$

=> $\theta _2 = sin^{-1}[\frac{1.3 * sin(10)}{1} ]$

=> $\theta _2 = 13^o$

Given that the angle should not be greater than $\theta _2 =45^o$ then the angle of incidence will be

$\theta _1 = sin^{-1}[\frac{n_2 * sin(\theta _2)}{n_1} ]$

=> $\theta _1 = sin^{-1}[\frac{1 * sin(45)}{1.3} ]$

=> $\theta _1 =32.94^o$

Generally for critical angle is mathematically represented as

$\theta_c = sin^{-1}[\frac{n_2}{n_1} ]$

=> $\theta_c = sin^{-1}[\frac{1}{1.3} ]$

=> $\theta_c = 53.05^o$

Photoelectrons are observed when a metal is illuminated by light with a wavelength less than 383 nm. What is the metal's work fu

Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

Work function of the metal is 3.24 eV.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Wavelength, $\lambda=383\times 10^{-9}\ m$

Let W is the work function of the metal. It is given by using Einstein's photoelectric effect equation. It is given by :

$W=\dfrac{hc}{\lambda}$

$W=\dfrac{6.63\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{383\times 10^{-9}}$

$W=5.193\times 10^{-19}\ J$

Since, $1\ eV=1.6\times 10^{-19}\ J$

So, W = 3.24 eV

So, the work function of the metal is 3.24 eV. Hence, this is the required solution.
