37. Six transverse waves move through different media. They all have the same frequency, but their amplitudes, A, and wavelengths, A, vary as indicated. Rank these waves, according to their propagation speeds, from largest to smallest. That is, rank the wave that is traveling fastest first, and place the wave moving with the slowest speed last. If two (or more) waves have the same speed, give same the same ranking. Explain the reasoning you used in establishing your rankings.
Wave I: A = 6 units; A = 3 m
Wave II: A = 8 units; A = 2 m
Wave III: A = 4 units; A = 6 m
Wave IV; A = 6 units; A = 6 m
Wave V: A = 8 units; A = 3 m
Wave VI: A = 16 units; A = 2 m

- This question involves some coding. We are using Juypter Lab to do our coding. If the coding cannot be done that is fine as I would just use that part to see how others do the coding (like tricks and special commands). Otherwise just solving the equations as needed would be fine. Thanks!arrow_forwardThe frequency of the highest note on the piano is 4,186 Hz. a) How many harmonics of that note can we hear? (HINT: harmonics of a note have frequencies equal to 2, 3, 4, … times that of the fundamental note.) b) How many harmonics of the note one octave below it can we hear? (HINT: the note one octave below has ó the frequency.) [we can hear 4 harmonics; we can hear 9 harmonics]arrow_forwardShow the complete solution to the following problem. At one atmospheric pressure and at a temperature of 0°C, the speed of sound in air is 33, 145 cm/s. This speed increases by 60 cm/s for each degree centigrade rise in temperature. Determine the speed of sound in air in Sl units at an altitude of 12.5 miles above sea level where the temperature is -62 °F.arrow_forward
- A sound wave in air has a frequency of 409 Hz. What is its wavelength? Calculate the wavelength for a sound wave with a frequency of 454 Hz?arrow_forwardI need some help with this.arrow_forwardA 3.4-m long string has a mass of 2.14g. What is the mass (in kg) of an object hung from its end if a 155-Hz wave has a wavelength of 69 cm? Round your answer to 3 decimal places.arrow_forward
- A sound wave is determined to have a trequency of 1,000 Hz and a wavelength of 35 cm. a) Determine the speed of this wave. b) If the sound wave in the previous question is measured in air, what is the temperatureof the air in deg. C?arrow_forwardNOTE: for this question, give all answers with 4 significant figures. A motion detector measures distance to the nearest object by using a speaker and a microphone. The speaker clicks 30 times a second. The microphone detects the sound bouncing back from the nearest object in front of it. The computer calculates the time delay between the making of the sound and receiving the echo. It knows the speed of sound (about 343 m/s at room temperature) and from that, it can calculate the distance to the object from the time delay. A. If the nearest object in front of the detector is too far away, the echo will not get back before a second click is emitted. Once that happens, the computer has no way of knowing that the echo isn't an echo from the second click and the detector doesn't give correct results anymore. Once the speaker emits a click, how much time does the echo have to return to the microphone before the next click is emitted? 0.03333 What's the furthest away the object can be so…arrow_forwardPlease dont provide handwritten solution .....arrow_forward
