A certain electromagnetic wave traveling in seawater was observed to have an amplitude of 98.02 (V/m) at a depth of 10 m, and an

maksim [4K]

Answer:

The value is $\alpha = 0.002 Np/m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The first amplitude of the wave is $E_{max}1 = 98.02 \ V/m$

The first depth is $D_1 = 10 \ m$

The second amplitude is $E_{max}2 = 81.87 \ (V/m)$

The second depth is $D_2 = 100 \ m$

Generally from the spatial wave equation we have

$v(x) = Ae^{-\alpha d}cos(\beta x + \phi_o)$

=> $\frac{v(x)}{v(x)} =\frac{ Ae^{-\alpha d}cos(\beta x + \phi_o)}{ Ae^{-\alpha d}cos(\beta x + \phi_o)}$

So considering the ratio of the equation for the two depth

$\frac{A}{A_S} = \frac{e^{-D_1 \alpha }}{e^{-D_2 \alpha }}$

=> $\frac{98.02}{81.87} = \frac{e^{-10 \alpha }}{e^{-100 \alpha }}$

=> $\alpha = \frac{0.18}{90}$

=> $\alpha = 0.002 Np/m$

An organ pipe open at both ends has two successive harmonics with frequencies of 220 Hz and 240 Hz. What is the length of the pi

Harman [31]

Answer:

The length is $l = 8.6 \ m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The frequencies of the two successive harmonics are $f_1 = 220 \ Hz$ , $f_2 = 240 \ Hz$

The speed of sound in the air is $v_s = 343 \ m/s$

Generally the frequency of a given harmonic is mathematically represented as

$f_n = \frac{n v }{2l}$

Here n defines the position of the harmonics

Now since the position of both harmonic is not know but we know that they successive then we can represented them mathematically as

$220 = \frac{n v}{2l}$

and

$240 = \frac{(n+1) v}{2l}$

$\frac{(n + 1 ) v}{2l} - \frac{n v}{2l} = 240-220$

=> $\frac{v}{2l} = 20$

=> $l = 8.6 \ m$

Buttery popcorn contained in a large 1__bowl has a mass of about 50 __<br>and about 650 calories.

Rasek [7]

Answer:

Buttery popcorn contained in a large 1 liter bowl has a mass of about 50 mg and about 650 calories.

Explanation:

Liter is the most appropriate unit to measure a bowl. Usually 1 liter of liquid has a mass of 1000 gram. Since popcorn is something lightweight and only a few can fill the bowl quickly so 50 mg makes perfect sense with 1 liter of bowl and 650 calories in buttery popcorn.
