Describe how an oscilloscope should be used to measure the frequency of the sound wave from the sonometer

Physics
1 answer:
ratelena [41]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

            T = reading (cm) time base (s / cm)

            f = 1 / T

Explanation:

An oscilloscope is a piece of equipment that allows you to visualize and measure a wave that reaches you, in the case of having a sonometer this transforms the sound wave into an electrical signal to be introduced through one of the voltage channels of the equipment, on the screen we will see the oscillating alternating signal, if it is fixed we can make the reading, if it is moving the time base and the trigger must be adjusted to stop it.

In the oscilloscope we can read the period of the signal, this is the time it takes for the signal to repeat itself with this value, we can calculate the frequency with the formula, for the reading of the period the distance is measured on the labeled screen and multiplied by the time base

         

            T = reading (cm) time base (s / cm)

            f = 1 / T

Reflection: a change in direction of a wave at a boundary between two different media.
sentence: i saw my reflection in the mirror.

refraction: the bending of light as it passes from one transparent substance into another.
sentence: when light goes through glass, it’s a refraction.

diffraction: the bending of waves around the corners of an obstacle.
sentence: spaced tracks on a CD act as a diffraction.

absorption: the process or action by which one thing absorbs or is absorbed by another.
sentence: heat waves hitting the beach usually give most of their energy to the sand.

interference: when two waves lay on each other and their energies are either added together or cancelled out.
sentence: interference waves can be observed with all types of waves.

standing wave: two waves moving in opposite directions. they both have the same amplitude or frequency.
sentence: plucking the string of a guitar is an example of standing waves.

resonance: increased amplitude that occurs when the frequency of a force is equal or close to a natural frequency.
sentence:a buzz in your car that only occurs at a certain speed is an example or resonance.

Please help me<br> the formula is E = P x t
Rainbow [258]

The battery doesn't 'use' power.  The battery <em>produces</em> the power that all the other electrical devices use.

If the starter motor is using 2,520 watts, then the battery is producing energy at the rate of 2,520 watts.  That means <em>2,520 Joules</em> of energy every second.

Thanks for giving us the formula.

E = P x t

Energy = Power x Time

Energy = (2,520 watts) x (1 second)

Energy = 2,520 Joules
