35.57 The professor then adjusts the apparatus. The frequency that you hear does not change, but the loudness decreases. Now all of your fellow students can hear the tone. What did the professor do? (a) She turned off the oscillator. (b) She turned down the volume of the speakers. (c) She changed the phase relationship of the speakers. (d) She disconnected one speaker.

- X-rays have a wavelength small enough to image individual atoms, but are challenging to detect because of their typical frequency. Suppose an X-ray camera uses X-rays with a wavelength of 3.10 nm. Calculate the frequency of the X-rays. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.arrow_forward2. Two astronauts are 1.20 m apart in their spaceship. One speaks to the other. The conversation is transmitted to earth via electromagnetic waves. The time it takes for sound waves to travel at 358 m/s through the air between the astronauts equals the time it takes for the electromagnetic waves to travel to the earth. How far away from the earth is the spaceship? m F19 19 oof of1 oofarrow_forwardwhat will be the smallest wavelength for visible light in the frequency range from 4.0×10^14 Hz to 7.9×10^14 Hzarrow_forward
- Physics written by hand.arrow_forwardProblem 1. A geostationary satellite is located 36,000 kilo- meters (km) away from the surface of the Earth. Once a minute it takes a digital picture and transmits the data to a base station on Earth. The rate of transmission is 10 Mbps and the propogation speed is 3.0 × 108 m/s. You may assume the actual time required to take the picture is negligible. a. What is the propagation delay of the link? b. The bandwidth-delay product is defined to be Rxdprop where dprop is the propagation delay. Calculate the bandwidth-delay product Rxdprop where deprop is the propagation delay. c. Let x denote the size of the picture in bits. What is the minimum value for x so that the satellite is continuously transmitting data over the link?arrow_forwardA beam of blue light, whose wavelength in vacuum is λvacuum = 510nm, is incident onto a transparent material material n=2.

- A mobile phone network uses microwaves to transmit signals between mobile phones and masts. The microwaves have a frequency of 1.5GHZ and travel at a speed of 300000000m/s. The maximum distance that a phone can be from a mast and still receive a signal is 35km. Use an equation to find the wavelength of microwavesarrow_forwardLight having a frequency in vacuum of 6.0 × 10^14 Hz enters a liquid of refractive index 2.0.
