Why can we hear sound around a corner but not see light

Physics
1 answer:
Viktor [21]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Sound waves that we can hear have much longer wavelengths than do light waves. As a result, the diffraction of sound waves around a corner is noticeable and we can hear the sound in the “shadow region,” but the diffraction of light waves around a corner is not noticeable.

Explanation:

i hope that helps :)...<3

Which of the following types of energy originates below Earth's surface?
faltersainse [42]
Geothermal energy. Electromagnetic energy originates at the sun (think UV rays; they are part of the electromagnetic spectrum). Electrical energy technically can be anywhere, as long as there are positive and negative charges. Mechanical energy is like a generator or an engine; there is always something working to get things done/made. I hope this answer and these explanations helped!

An organ pipe open at both ends has a radius of 4.0 cm and a length of 6.0 m. what is the frequency (in hz) of the third harmoni
Marysya12 [62]

When air is blown into the open pipe,

L = \frac{nλ}{2}

where nis any integral number 1,2,3,4 etc. and λ is the wavelength of the oscillation

⇒λ=\frac{2L} {n}

Note here that n=1 is for fundamental, n=2 is first harmonic and so on..

⇒ third harmonic will be n=4

Given L=6m, n=4, solving for λ we get:

λ=\frac{(2)*(6)}{4} =3m

Relationship of frequency(f), velocity of sound (c) and wavelength(λ) is:

c=f.λ Or f= \frac{c}{λ}

⇒f=\frac{344}{3}

≈115 Hz
