The diagram shows a wave moving from one medium to another

Physics
1 answer:
Shtirlitz [24]2 years ago
3 0

As the speed of wave decreases, the wavelength of the wave decreases.

<h3>Refraction</h3>

We know that as a wave travels from one medium to another its speed decreases depending on if the first medium is less dense than the second medium or increases depending on if the first medium is more dense than the second medium. This is known as refraction

Now, we know that the speed of a wave v = fλ where

  • f = frequency and
  • λ = wavelength. Since f is constant, v ∝ λ.

The ratio of the speed in medium one to speed in medium two is called the refractive index of medium 1 to 2.

<h3>Explaining the diagram</h3>

From the diagram, we see that the wavelength in medium 1 is longer than that in medium 2. Since wavelength and speed are proportional, so the speed in medium 1 is also greater than the speed in medium 2.

So, As the speed of wave decreases, the wavelength of the wave decreases.

A middle-A tuning fork vibrates with a frequency f of 440 hertz (cycles per second). You strike a middle-A tuning fork with a fo
jeyben [28]

Answer:

P = 5sin(880πt)

Explanation:

We write the pressure in the form P = Asin2πft where A = amplitude of pressure, f = frequency of vibration and t = time.

Now, striking the middle-A tuning fork with a force that produces a maximum pressure of 5 pascals implies A = 5 Pa.

Also, the frequency of vibration is 440 hertz. So, f = 440Hz

Thus, P = Asin2πft

P = 5sin2π(440)t

P = 5sin(880πt)

A person stands 6.00 m from a speaker, and 8.00 m from an identical speaker. What is the wavelength of the first (n=1) interfere
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

wavelength = 4 m

Explanation:

For distance 6 and 8m and speed of sound in air = c.

The travel time form the various distances 6 and 8 are 6/c and 8/c respectively.

cos(wt1) + cos(wt2) = 0

for a shift in phase t1 = t - 6/c,

t2 = t - 8/c

substituting t1 and t2

cos(π - w(t - 8/c)) = cos(w(t - 6/c))

solving using trigonometry identities in radians.

we have,

π - 2πn = w(t - 8/c) - w(t - 6/c)

putting w = 2πf

π - 2πn = 2πf(t - 8/c) - 2πf(t - 6/c)

dividing both sides by π

1 - 2n = 2ft - 16(f/c) - 2ft + 12(f/c)

simplifying we have,

1 - 2n = -4(f/c)

solving for f we have,

f = c/4(2n - 1)

putting n=1 and c = 343m/s

f = (343/4)*(2(1) - 1)

f = 85.75 Hertz

wave lenght = c/f , where c= speed of sound in air , f= frequency

wave lenght = 343/85.75 = 4m
