Scientists use laser range finding to measure the distance to the moonwith great accuracy. A very brief (100 ps) laser pulse, with a wavelengthof 532 nm, is fired at the moon, where it reflects off an array of 100 4.0-cm-diameter mirrors placed there by Apollo 14 astronauts in 1971. The reflected laser light returns to earth, where it is collected by a telescope and detected. The average earth-moon distance is 384,000 km. The laser beam spreads out on its way to the moon because of diffraction, reaching the mirrors with an intensity of 300 W/m2. The reflected beam spreads out even more on its way back because of diffraction due to the circular aperture of the mirrors.a. What is the round-trip time for the laser pulse to travel to the moon and back?b. If we want to measure the distance to the moon to an accuracy of 1.0 cm, how accurately must the arrival time of the returning pulse be measured?c. Because of the spread of the beam due to diffraction, the light arriving at earth from one…
Two identical audio speakers connected to the same amplifier produce in-phase sound waves with a single frequency that can be varied between 340 and 575 HzHz . The speed of sound is 340 m/sm/s . You find that where you are standing, you hear minimum-intensity sound
If one of the speakers is moved 39.8 cmcm toward you, the sound you hear has maximum intensity. What is the frequency of the sound?
Express your answer in hertz.
How much closer to you from the position in part B must the speaker be moved to the next position where you hear maximum intensity?
Express your answer in meters.
A music song recorded in a studio is stored as a digital sequence on a CD. The analog signal representing the music is 2 minutes long and is sampled at a frequency fs=44100s-1 .
