Two loudspeakers are about 10 mm apart in the front of a large classroom. If either speaker plays a pure tone at a single freque

ncy of 400 HzHz, the loudness seems pretty even as you wander around the room, and gradually decreases in volume as you move farther from the speaker. If both speakers then play the same tone together, what do you hear as you wander around the room

Answer:

I hear points of low volume sound and points of high volume of sound.

Explanation:

This is because, since the two sources of sound have the same frequency and are separated by a distance, d = 10 mm, there would be successive points of constructive and destructive interference.

Since their frequencies are similar, we should have beats of high and low frequency.

So, at points of low frequency, the amplitude of the wave is smallest and there is destructive interference. The frequency at this point is the difference between the frequencies from both speakers. Since the frequency from both speakers is 400 Hz, we have, f - f' = 400 Hz - 400 Hz = 0 Hz. So, the volume of the sound is low(zero) at these points.

Also, at points of high frequency, the amplitude of the wave is highest and there is constructive interference. The frequency at this point is the sum between the frequencies from both speakers. Since the frequency from both speakers is 400 Hz, we have, (f + f') = 400 Hz + 400 Hz = 800 Hz. So, the volume of the sound is high at these points.

So, as you wander around the room, I should hear points of high and low sound across the room.

Is a quantum of light or a single packet/particle of light at a given wavelength.
Yanka [14]

Photon is a quantum of light or a single packet/particle of light at a given wavelength.

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation: </u>

It is known that light has dual nature of wave as well as particles. Light waves can behave in wave nature as well as in particle nature depending upon the situation. So the light waves are assumed in different views to easily understand the nature of light waves.

There are several models proposed to simplify the nature of light. Among the several assumptions, one of the most prominent observations are that light waves or quantum of light are termed as photons which are made up of single packet/particles of light in a given wavelength.

The block in the figure below has a mass of 5.1 kg and it rests on an incline of angle . You pull on the rope with a force F = 3
viktelen [127]

42.9°

Explanation:

Let's assume that the x-axis is aligned with the incline and the positive direction is up the incline. We can then apply Newton's 2nd law as follows:

x:\;\;\;\;F - mg\sin{\theta} = 0\;\;\;\;

\Rightarrow mg\sin{\theta} = F

Note that the net force is zero because the block is moving with a constant speed when the angle of the incline is set at \theta. Solving for the angle, we get

\sin{\theta} = \dfrac{F}{mg}

or

\theta = \sin^{-1}\left(\dfrac{F}{mg}\right)

\;\;\;=  \sin^{-1}\left[\dfrac{34\:\text{N}}{(5.1\:\text{kg})(9.8\:\text{m/s}^2)}\right]

\;\;\;=42.9°

3. A ray of light consisting of blue light (wavelength 480 nm) and red light (wavelength 670 nm) is incident on a thick piece of
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

The angular separation between the refracted red and refracted blue beams while they are in the glass is 42.555 - 42.283 = 0.272 degrees.

Explanation:

Given that,

The respective indices of refraction for the blue light and the red light are 1.4636 and 1.4561.

A ray of light consisting of blue light (wavelength 480 nm) and red light (wavelength 670 nm) is incident on a thick piece of glass at 80 degrees.

We need to find the angular separation between the refracted red and refracted blue beams while they are in the glass.

Using Snell's law for red light as :

n_1\sin\theta_1=n_2\sin\theta_2\\\\\theta_2=\sin^{-1}((\dfrac{n_2}{n_1})\sin\theta_1)\\\\\theta_2=\sin^{-1}((\dfrac{1}{1.4561})\sin(80))\\\\\theta_2=42.555

Again using Snell's law for blue light as :

n_1\sin\theta_1=n_2\sin\theta'_2\\\\\theta'_2=\sin^{-1}((\dfrac{n_2}{n_1})\sin\theta_1)\\\\\theta'_2=\sin^{-1}((\dfrac{1}{1.4636 })\sin(80))\\\\\theta'_2=42.283

The angular separation between the refracted red and refracted blue beams while they are in the glass is 42.555 - 42.283 = 0.272 degrees.

Playing a certain musical note on a trumpet
Virty [35]

Answer:

(1) Resonance

Explanation:

Resonance is the process whereby a system is set into vibration due to the vibration of a nearby system with larger amplitude. The frequency at which this vibration takes place is called the resonant frequency.

It is a phenomenon of amplification that occurs when the frequency of a periodically applied force is in harmonic proportion to the natural frequency of the system on which it acts.
