Differences between Reflection of light and Reflection of sound​

Physics
1 answer:
Leokris [45]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The law of reflection of sound waves states that the angle of incidence is always equal to the angle of reflection. But unlike reflection of light on a highly smooth surface, in the reflection of the sound wave, a part of the incident wave gets transmitted to the medium where it hits.

The sound produced by the loudspeaker in the drawing has a frequency of 11999 Hz and arrives at the microphone via two different
const2013 [10]

The speed at which sound travels through the gas in the tube is 719.94m/s

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

Frequency, f = 11999Hz

Wavelength, λ = 0.03m

Velocity, v = ?

Sound speed in the tube is calculated by multiplying the frequency v by the wavelength λ.

As the sound loudness changed from a maximum to a minimum, then we know the sound interference in the case changed from constructive interference (the two sound waves are in phase, i.e. peaks are in a line with peaks and so the troughs), to a destructive interference (peaks coinciding with troughs). The least distance change required to cause such a change is a half wavelength distance, so:

λ/2 = 0.03/2

 λ  = 0.06m

We know,

v = λf

v = 0.06 X 11999Hz

v = 719.94m/s

Therefore, the speed at which sound travels through the gas in the tube is 719.94m/s

A proton, an electron, and a helium nucleus all move at speed v . Rank their de Broglie wavelengths from largest to smallest.
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Ranking of de Broglie wavelengths from largest to smallest is electron > proton > helium

  • De Broglie proposed that because light has both wave and particle properties, matter exhibits both wave and particle properties. This property has been explained as the dual behavior of matter.
  • From his observations, de Broglie derived the relationship between the wavelength and momentum of matter. This relationship is known as de Broglie's relationship

De Broglie's relationship is given by \lambda=\frac{h}{mv}      .....(1) , where λ  is known as de Broglie wavelength and m is mass , v is velocity , h = Plank’s constant.

From equation (1) wavelength and mass has an inverse relation .

Mass of helium is 4 times the mass of the proton and proton has a greater mass than electron.

According to equation (1) , less the mass higher will be the wavelength

Hence electron having less mass have higher wavelength and then proton and then helium having large mass will have less wavelength .

Thus, order should be electron > proton > helium .

Problem 1 Observer A, who is at rest in the laboratory, is studying a particle that is moving through the laboratory at a speed
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

markers are 29.76 m far apart in the laboratory

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

speed of particle = 0.624c

lifetime = 159 ns = 1.59 × 10⁻⁷ s

we know that; c is speed of light which is equal to 3 × 10⁸ m/s

we know that

distance = vt

or s = ut

so we substitute

distance = 0.624c × 1.59 × 10⁻⁷ s

distance = 0.624(3 × 10⁸ m/s) × 1.59 × 10⁻⁷ s

distance = 1.872 × 10⁸ m/s × 1.59 × 10⁻⁷ s

distance =  29.76 m

Therefore, markers are 29.76 m far apart in the laboratory

A rock dropped down a well takes 1.8 s to hit the water. How far below the top of the well is the surface of the water
Brut [27]

Answer: 15.87 m

From the equation of motion:

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where, s is the distance traveled, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time.

The rock free falls under gravity. Initial velocity, u=0 m/s, a=g=9.8m/s^2

It took t=1.8 s for rock to hit the water.

Substitute the values in the given equation:

\Rightarrow s=0+\frac{1}{2}9.8m/s^2\times(1.8s)^2=15.87 m

Hence, the water is 15.87 m below the top level of the well.
