Properties of sound

A sound wave is a mechanical wave (or mechanical vibration) that transit through media such as gas (air), liquid (water), and solid (wood).

Quality Of Sound

A sound or a sound wave is defined as the energy produced due to the vibrations of particles in a medium. When any medium produces a disturbance or vibrations, it causes a movement in the air particles which produces sound waves. Molecules in the air vib…

Categories of Sound Wave

People perceive sound in different ways, like a medico student takes sound as vibration produced by objects reaching the human eardrum. A physicist perceives sound as vibration produced by an object, which produces disturbances in nearby air molecules th…

Chapter 14, Problem 81PCE

Identical cellos are being tested. One is producing a fundamental frequency of 120.9 Hz on a string that is 1.25 m long and has a mass of 109 g. On the second cello an identical string is fingered to reduce the length that can vibrate. If the beat frequency produced by these two strings is 5.25 Hz, what is the vibrating length of the second string?

1. The average KE and temperature in Kelvin of the molecules of a gas are related by the equation KE = 3/2 KT where k is the Boltzmann constant 1.38 x 10 m² kg s². The diagram shows the energy levels for a Hydrogen atom. Energy/eV 0.00 -1.51 3.39 13.58 Use this information to show that Hydrogen at room temperature will not emit light. 2. When hydrogen burns in oxygen 241.8 kJ of energy are released per mole. Show that this reaction can produce light.

3. By using the fact that around any closed loop the sum of the EMFS = the sum of the PDs. Write equations for the two loops shown in the cct below. 40 ΔΩ I₂ 4V (loop1 20 (loop2) 2v I+12 Use these equations to show that the current flowing through the 20 resistor is 0.75A

5. A potential divider circuit is made by stretching a 1 m long wire with a resistance of 0.1 per cm from A to B as shown. 8V A 100cm B sliding contact 5Ω A varying PD is achieved across the 5 Q resistor by moving the slider along the resistance wire. Calculate the distance from A when the PD across the 5 Q resistor is 6 V.
