Microphone Electricity needs
Finger [1]
Sound—energy<span> we can hear—travels only so far before it soaks away into the world around us. Until electrical </span>microphones<span>were invented in the late 19th century, there was no satisfactory way to send </span>sounds<span> to other places. You could shout, but that carried your words only a little further. You couldn't shout in New York City and make yourself heard in London. And you couldn't speak in 1715 and have someone listen to what you said a hundred years later! Remarkably, such things are possible today: by converting sound energy into electricity and information we can store, microphones make it possible to send the sounds of our voices, our music, and the noises in our world to other places and other times. How do microphones work? Let's take a closer look!</span>

In Young's double slit experiment, 402 nm light gives a fourth-order bright fringe at a certain location on a flat screen. What
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

λ₂ = 357.3 nm

Explanation:

The expression for double-slit interference is

          d sin θ = m λ                 constructive interference

          d sin θ = (m + ½) λ        destructive interference.

The initial data corresponds to a constructive interference, they indicate that we are in the fourth order (m = 4), let's look for the separation of the slits

         d sin θ = m λ₁

       

now ask for destructive interference for m = 4

        d sin θ = (m + ½) λ₂

we match these two expressions

         m λ₁ = (m + ½) λ₂

         λ₂ = ( m / m + ½) λλ₁  

let's calculate

         λ₂ =\frac{4}{(4.000 +0.5) \ 401}

        λ₂ = 357.3 nm

Q.Solve the following circuit find total resistance RT. Also find value of voltage across resister RC.
Drupady [299]

Answer:

14.57 ohms

Explanation:

Here in the figure ,Rb & R₄are in series  & also  Rc & R₅ are in series. As they are in series , ( Rb + R₄ ) & (Rc & R₅) are in parallel . So the equivalent resistance in that branch = ( 2 + 18 ) ║ ( 3 + 12 )

                                          = 20 ║ 15

                                          = (20×15) / (20 + 15)

                                          = 8.57 ohms

Also Ra ( 6 ohm ) is in series with that branch ,. So the equivalent resistance of the whole circuit = 8.57 + 6 = 14.57 ohms.

a car traveling at 11.2 m/s increases speed to 24.6 m/s over 4.4 seconds. what is the acceleration of the car
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

24.6 - 11.2 / 4.4 = 3.045m/s

Explanation:

acceleration = vf-vi / time

vf= 24.6 m/s

vi= 11.2 m/s

t= 4.4s
