You know that you sound better when you sing in the shower. This has to do with the amplification of frequencies that correspond

to the standing-wave resonances of the shower enclosure. A shower enclosure is created by adding glass doors and tile walls to a standard bathtub, so the enclosure has the dimensions of a standard tub, 0.75 m wide and 1.5 m long. Standing sound waves can be set up along either axis of the enclosure. What are the lowest two frequencies that correspond to resonances on each axis of the shower

Answer:

a) L = 0.75m   f₁ = 113.33 Hz , f₃ = 340 Hz, b) L=1.50m   f₁ = 56.67 Hz ,  f₃ = 170 Hz

Explanation:

This resonant system can be simulated by a system with a closed end, the tile wall and an open end where it is being sung

In this configuration we have a node at the closed end and a belly at the open end whereby the wavelength

With 1  node         λ₁ = 4 L

With 2 nodes      λ₂ = 4L / 3

With 3 nodes       λ₃ = 4L / 5

The general term would be      λ_n= 4L / n         n = 1, 3, 5, ((2n + 1)

The speed of sound is

         v = λ f

         f = v / λ

         f = v  n / 4L

Let's consider each length independently

L = 0.75 m

        f₁ = 340 1/4 0.75 = 113.33 n

         f₁ = 113.33 Hz

        f₃ = 113.33   3

       f₃ = 340 Hz

L = 1.5 m

       f₁ = 340 n / 4 1.5 = 56.67 n

       f₁ = 56.67 Hz

       f₃ = 56.67 3

       f₃ = 170 Hz

What wavelength of light contains enough energy in a single photon to ionize a hydrogen atom?
BaLLatris [955]

There's probably a much quicker, easier way to do it, but I don't work with this stuff every day so this is the way I have to do it:

First, I searched the "ionization energy" of Hydrogen on Floogle.  That's how much work it takes to rip the one electron away from its Hydrogen atom, and it's 13.6 eV (electron-volts).

In order to find the frequency/wavelength of a photon with that energy, I need the energy in units of Joules.

1 eV = 1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹ Joule  (also from Floogle)

13.6 eV = 2.179 x 10⁻¹⁸ Joule

OK.  Now we can use the popular well-known formula for the energy of a photon:

Energy = h · (frequency)  

or  Energy = h · (light speed/wavelength)

' h ' is Max Planck's konstant ... 6.626 × 10⁻³⁴ m²-kg / s

Wow !  The only thing we don't know in this equation is the wavelength, which is what we need to find.  That's gonna be a piece-o'-cake now, because we know the energy, we know ' h ', and we know the speed of light.

Wavelength = h · c / energy

Wavelength =

(6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ m²-kg/sec) · (3 x 10⁸ m/s) / (2.179 x 10⁻¹⁸ joule)

<em>Wavelength = 9.117 x 10⁻⁸ meter </em>

That's  91.1 nanometers .

It's not visible light (visible is between about 390 to 780 nm), but it's not as short as I was expecting.  I thought it was going to be an X-ray, but it's not that short.  X-rays are defined as 0.1 to 10 nanometers.  This result is in the short end of Ultra-violet.

(You have no idea how happy I am with this result.  I figured it out exactly the way I showed you, and I never peeked.  Then, AFTER I had my solution, I went to Floogle and searched to see what it really is, and whether I came out anywhere close.  I found it in the article on the "Lyman Series".  It says the wavelength of the energy released by an electron that falls in from infinity and settles in the n=1 energy level of Hydrogen is  91.175 nm !  This gives me a big hoo-hah for the day, and I'm going to bed now.)

In mammals, the weight of the heart is approximately 0.5% of the total body weight. Write a linear model that gives the heart we
jekas [21]

Answer:

The weight of heart of a human is 0.93 lbs.

Explanation:

Given that,

Approximately weight of heart is 0.5 % of the total body weight.

Weight of human = 185 lbs

Let the the weight of total body is w and weight of heart is w_{h}.

We need to calculate the weight of heart of a human

Using given data

w_{h}=0.5\times w

Where, h = weight of heart

w = weight of human

w_{h}=\dfrac{0.5}{100}\times 185

w_{h}=0.93\ lbs

Hence, The weight of heart of a human is 0.93 lbs.

A taxi starts from Monument Circle and travels 5 kilometers to the east for 5 minutes. Then it travels 10 kilometers to the sout
katovenus [111]

The correct sentence is:

The taxi is moving with reference to  A) Monument circle. For each leg of the trip, the taxi’s  A) Average speed stays the same, but its  B) Average velocity  changes.

In fact, speed it is only the ratio between the distance traveled and the time taken - so it does not take into account the direction of motion. The speed in the first leg is

v=\frac{5 km}{5 min}=1 km/min

while the speed in the second leg is

v=\frac{10 km}{10 min}=1 km/min

so the speed stays the same.

However, the velocity also takes into account the direction of motion: in the first leg, the direction is east, while in the second leg, the direction is south, therefore the average velocity has changed, since the direction has changed.

A student has made the statement that the electric flux through one half of a Gaussian surface is always equal and opposite to t
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

E.true only when no charge is enclosed within the Gaussian surface.

Explanation:

Because Gauss’s law states that the net flux of an electric field in a closed surface is directly proportional to the enclosed electric charge.

A thermally isolated system is made up of a hot piece of aluminum and a cold piece of copper; the aluminum and the copper are in
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

b) It is impossible to tell without knowing the masses.

Explanation:

The temperature change of a substance when it receives/gives off a certain amount of heat Q is given by

\Delta T= \frac{Q}{m C_s}

where

Q is the amount of heat

m is the mass of the substance

Cs is the specific heat capacity of the substance

In this case, we have a hot piece of aluminum in contact with a cold piece of copper: the amount of heat given off by the aluminum is equal to the amount of heat absorbed by the copper, so Q is the same for the two substances. However, we see that the temperature change of the two substances depends on two other factors: the mass, m, and the specific heat, Cs. So, since we know only the specific heat of the two substances, but not their mass, we can't tell which object will experience the greater temperature change.
