What is the frequency of a sound wave directly related to?

1 answer:

8 0

The frequency of a sound wave is the number of cycles of a sound wave per second or Hertz (Hz). The frequency can be calculated by dividing wavelength by time (Figure 1.3). A small wavelength will yield a higher frequency, whereas a larger wavelength will yield a smaller frequency.

balu736 [363]

Answer:Ultraviolet radiation has shorter wavelengths and higher energy than infrared radiation.

Explanation: Electromagnetic radiation radiations which have both electrical and magnetic properties,they can be transmitted through space or through a medium.

It includes Gamma radiation, infra-red, visible light, Ultraviolet radiation etc they occur with different wavelength, the lower the wavelength the higher the Energy dissipated per photon. According to their order of decreasing wavelength and increased energy they are classified as follows.

RADIO WAVE, MICRO WAVE, INFRA-RED, VISIBLE LIGHT, ULTRAVIOLET RAY, X-RAY, GAMMA RAYS.

In which part of the ear is the sound wave converted into electrical impulse

Kryger [21]

The part of the ear where the sound wave converted into electrical impulse would be the cochlea. This part is the auditory portion of the inner ear which produces nerve impulses in response to sound vibrations. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

While playing baseball with your friends your hands begin to sting after you ctach several fast balls.

muminat

Answer:

Explanation:

To stop a ball with high momentum in a small-time imparts a high amount of impact on hands. This is the reason for the stinging of hands.

The momentum of the ball is due to the mass and velocity. To prevent stinging in the hand one needs to lower his hands to increase the time of contact. In this way, the momentum transfer to the hands will be lesser.

A container is filled to a depth of 19.0 cm with water. On top of the water floats a 31.0-cm-thick layer of oil with specific gr

IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

Absolute pressure of the oil will be 102822.8 Pa

Explanation:

We have given height h = 31 cm = 0.31 m

Acceleration due to gravity $g=9.8m/sec^2$

Specific gravity of oil = 0.600

So density of oil $\rho =0.6\times 1000=600kg/m^3$

We know that absolute pressure is given by $P=P_0+\rho gh$ , here $P_0=1.01\times 10^5Pa$

So absolute pressure will be equal to $P=1.01\times 10^5+600\times 9.8\times 0.31=102822.8Pa$

So absolute pressure of the oil will be 102822.8 Pa
