Charra [1.4K]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Originally :  Level = log I / I0

Currently: Level = 10 log I / I0

Level = 10 log 600 = 10 * 2.78 = 27.8

Note the term 1 bel = 10 decibels

Doss [256]

Answer:

4.6×10^-7 m or 0.46nm

Explanation:

From

Wo= hc/λ

Where:

Wo= work function of the metal

h= planks constant

c= speed of light

λ= wavelength

λ= hc/Wo

λ= 6.6×10^-34 × 3×10^8/4.30×10^-19

λ= 4.6×10^-7 m

The amplitude of a standing sound wave in a long pipe closed at the left end is sketched below.
ollegr [7]

(1) The harmonic number for the mode of oscillation is 3.

(2) The pitch (frequency) of the sound is 579.55 Hz

(3) The level of the water inside the vertical pipe is 0.1 m.

<h3>The harmonic number</h3>

The harmonic number for the mode of oscillation illustrated for the closed pipe is 3.

<h3>Frequency of the wave</h3>

The pitch (frequency) of the sound is calculated from third harmonic formula;

f = 3v/4L

where;

  • v is speed of sound
  • L is length of the pipe

f = (3 x 340) / (4 x 0.44)

f = 579.55 Hz

<h3>level of the water</h3>

wave equation for first harmonic of a closed pipe is given as

f  = v/(4L)

251.1  = 340/(4L)

4L = 340/251.1

4L = 1.35

L = 1.35/4

L = 0.34 m

level of water = 0.44 m - 0.34 m = 0.1 m

Thus, the level of the water inside the vertical pipe is 0.1 m.

Radio waves transmitted through space at 3.00 ✕ 108 m/s by the Voyager spacecraft have a wavelength of 0.137 m. What is their fr
fredd [130]

Answer:

Frequency, f=2.18\times 10^9\ Hz

Explanation:

We have,

Speed of radio waves is 3\times 10^8\ m/s

Wavelength of radio waves is \lambda=0.137\ m

It is required to find the frequency of the radio waves. The speed of a wave is given by :

v=f\lambda\\\\f=\dfrac{v}{\lambda}\\\\f=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{0.137}\\\\f=2.18\times 10^9\ Hz

So, the frequency of the radio wave is 2.18\times 10^9\ Hz.
