Answer:
Mirages happen when the ground is very hot and the air is cool.
Explanation:
They happen when light passes through two layers of air with different temperatures. The desert sun heats the sand, which in turn heats the air just above it. The hot air bends light rays and reflects the sky.
When you see it from a distance, the different air masses colliding with each other act as a mirror.
Answer:
4.6 m
Explanation:
First of all, we can find the frequency of the wave in the string with the formula:
where we have
L = 2.00 m is the length of the string
T = 160.00 N is the tension
is the mass linear density
Solving the equation,
The frequency of the wave in the string is transmitted into the tube, which oscillates resonating at same frequency.
The n=1 mode (fundamental frequency) of an open-open tube is given by
where
v = 343 m/s is the speed of sound
Using f = 37.3 Hz and re-arranging the equation, we find L, the length of the tube:
