A sound wave enters a new medium where sound travels faster. How does this affect the frequency and wavelength of the sound?

Physics

Sophie [7]3 years ago
8 0

The frequency stays the same and the wavelength increases.

Explanation;

Sound waves are a type of mechanical wave which requires a material medium for transmission. The transmission of such waves occurs as a result of vibration of particles in the material medium. The faster the vibration of the particles the higher the speed of the sound waves.

When a sound enters a new medium where the sound travels faster, it means the vibration of particles is high, and the wavelength of the waves increases which means the speed of the wave has increased. The frequency on the other hand will remain constant.

Two long conducting cylindrical shells are coaxial and have radii of 20 mm and 80 mm. The electric potential of the inner conduc
romanna [79]

Answer:

a) The speed of the electron as it reaches the inner conductor is closest to:

v = 1.45 × 10⁷m/s

b) The electric field magnitude between the cylinders is

E = 10,000V/m

Explanation:

given

inner radius of the cylinder r₁ = 20mm = 0.02m

outter radius of the cylinder r₂ = 80mm = 0.08m

potential difference V= 600V

mass of electron = 9.1×10⁻³¹kg

charge on electron = 1.6×10⁻¹⁹C

calculating the work done in bringing electron at inner conductor is

W =\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}

note:

V = \frac{W}{q}

∴W = (ΔV)q

(ΔV)q = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}

(600)1.6×10⁻¹⁹ = ¹/₂ × 9.1×10⁻³¹ × v²

v² ≈ 2.11 × 10¹⁴

v = 1.45 × 10⁷m/s

According to the energy conservation law, the total energy of an isolated system is always constant.  

The energy of an isolated system can neither be created nor be destroyed, it can only convert one form to another form.

∴ the maximum electric field

E = ΔV/d

E = 600/d

where d is the distance between the two points

where d = 0.06m

E = 600/0.06

E = 10,000V/m

Note: the electric field due to the potential difference between to points depends upon the potential difference V and the distance between both points d.
