Chapter 14, Problem 9P
A hammer strikes one end of a thick steel rail of length 8.50 m. A microphone located at the opposite end of the rail detects two pulses of sound, one that travels through the air and a longitudinal wave that travels through the rail. (a) Which pulse reaches the microphone first? (b) Find the separation in time between the arrivals of the two pulses.

The slope of a graph of velocity, v, vs frequency, f, is equal to wavelength, l. Compare the slope of your Data Table 1 graph to the average wavelength (Ave, l) from Data Table 1 by calculating the % Difference.
Examine the slope of the line on the graph created using the data in Data Table 4 of Period, T2 vs L, the slope of the line is a constant containing the acceleration due to gravity, g. Using the slope of your line, determine the experimental value for g. Compare the value you determined for g from the slope of the graph to the expected value of 9.81 m/s2 by calculating the percent error.
From your examination of the graph created using the data in Data Table 4 of Period, T vs √L . What would you determine is the relationship between the period of a pendulum and the length of a pendulum?

Two slits are 0.158 mm apart. A mixture of red light (wavelength = 693 nm) and yellow-green light (wavelength = 567 nm) falls on the slits. A flat observation screen is located 2.42 m away. What is the distance on the screen between the third-order red fringe and the third-order yellow-green fringe? m = 3 m = 3 m = 0 m = 3 m = 3 Fringes on observation screenarrow_forwardA film of oil lies on wet pavement.
