A concert loudspeaker suspended high off the ground emits 32.0 W of sound power. A small microphone with a 1.00 cm^2 area is 52.
lesya [120]

Answer:

Sound Intensity at microphone's position is 9.417\times 10^{- 4} W/m^{2}

The amount of energy impinging on the microphone is 9.417\times 10^{- 8} W/m^{2}

Solution:

As per the question:

Emitted Sound Power, P_{E} = 32.0 W

Area of the microphone, A_{m} = 1.00 cm^{2} = 1.00\times 10^{- 4} m^{2}

Distance of microphone from the speaker, d = 52.0 m

Now, the intensity of sound, I_{s} at a distance away from the souce of sound follows law of inverse square and is given as:

I_{s} = \frac{P_{E}}{Area} = \frac{P_{E}}{4\pi d^{2}}

I_{s} = \frac{32.0}{4\pi (52.0)^{2}} = 9.417\times 10^{- 4} W/m^{2}

Now, the amount of sound energy impinging on the microphone is calculated as:

If I_{s} be the Incident Energy/m^{2}/s

Then

The amount of energy incident per 1.00 cm^{2} = 1.00\times 10^{- 4} m^{2} is:

I_{s}(1.00\times 10^{- 4}) = 9.417\times 10^{- 4}\times 1.00\times 10^{- 4} = 9.417\times 10^{- 8} J

What is the reversal experienced by an image formed in a plane mirror called?
Lerok [7]

Answer:

Lateral inversion

Explanation:

When an object is placed in front of a plane mirror, the appearance of the object on the plane mirror appears as a reversal of the object. This effect is known as lateral inversion.

Lateral inversion occurs as a result of the fact that light is reflected by a plane mirror. The image formed by the plane mirror is as far behind the mirror as the object is in front of it. Hence lateral inversion occurs because of the way our brains perceive images on a plane mirror. The mirror image of symmetrical letters and objects do not show lateral inversion.

An early method of measuring the speed of light makes use of a rotating slotted wheel. A beam of light passes through one of the
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

4.7 x 10³ rad / s

Explanation:

During the time light goes and comes back , one slot is replaced by next slot while rotating  before the light source

Time taken by light to travel a distance of 2 x 500 m is

= (2 x 500) / 3 x 10⁸

= 3.333 x 10⁻⁶ s .

In this time period, two consecutive slots come before the source of light one after another by rotation. There are 400 slots so time taken to make one rotation

= 3.333 x 10⁻⁶ x 400

= 13.33 x 10⁻⁴ s

This is the time period so

T = 13.33 X 10⁻⁴

Angular speed

= 2π / T

= \frac{2\times3.14}{13.33\times10^{-4}}

4.7 x 10³ rad / s

9. Would the maximin criterion achieve perfect income equality? a. Yes. There would be no way to reallocate resources to raise t
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Although the maximin criterion emphasizes the worst-off person in society and it's targeted towards equalizing of the distribution of income by transferring income from the rich to the poor, it will not lead to a complete egalitarian society. Because this will make the people not to have incentive to work hard and the societal total income will substantially fall off and the least fortunate person will be worse off. Thus, this rule still allows disparities in income.
