The human ear canal is, on average, 2.5cm long and aids in hearing by acting like a resonant cavity that is closed on one end an

d open on the other. The length of the ear canal is partially responsible for our sensitivities to certain frequencies. Use 340m/s for the speed of sound when performing the following calculations. What is the first resonant frequency?

Answer:

3400 Hz

Explanation:

We know that

1 cm = 0.01 m

L = Length of the human ear canal = 2.5 cm = 0.025 m

V = Speed of sound = 340 ms⁻¹

f = First resonant frequency

The human ear canal behaves as a closed pipe and for a closed pipe, nth resonant frequency is given as

f = \frac{(2n - 1)V}{4L}

for first resonant frequency, we have n = 1

Inserting the values

f = \frac{(2(1) - 1) 340}{4(0.025)}

f = \frac{340}{4(0.025)}

f = 3400 Hz

Calculate the amount of energy produced in a nuclear reaction in which the mass defect is 0.187456 amu.
luda_lava [24]
For nuclear reactions, we determine the energy dissipated from the process from the Theory of relativity wherein energy is equal to the mass defect times the speed of light. We calculate as follows:

E = mc^2 = 0.187456 (3x10^8)^2 = 1.687x10^16 J

Hope this answers the question.

4.A photon of green light strikes an unknown metal and an electron is emitted. The voltage is set to 2 volts. The electron canno
Anarel [89]
4) The correct answer is:
<span>B. An electron will be emitted in the second experiment, but it cannot be determined whether it will reach the second plate. 

In fact, violet light has higher frequency than green light. This means that photons of violet light carry more energy than photons of green light (remember that the energy of a photon is proportional to its frequency: </span>E=hf)<span>, so when they hit the surface of the metal, more energy is transferred to the electrons. The electron was already emitted with green light, so it must be emitted also with violet light, given the more energy transferred. The electron will also have more kinetic energy when hit by violet light, however, we cannot determine if it will reach the second plate, since we don't know how much energy has been used to extract the electron from the metal (in fact, we don't know the work function of the metal, i.e. the energy needed to extract the electron)


3)  The correct answer is
</span><span>A. Violet light will cause electrons to be emitted at greater velocities than those removed by green light.

In fact, </span>violet light has higher frequency than green light. This means that photons of violet light carry more energy than photons of green light (remember that the energy of a photon is proportional to its frequency: E=hf), so when they hit the surface of the metal, more energy is transferred to the electrons. Therefore, the emitted electrons will have on average greater energy (and so, greater velocity) than those removed by green light.

Which statements describe the characteristics of asteroids? Check all that apply. formed 4.6 billion years ago orbit the Sun bey
choli [55]

Answer:

formed 4.6 billion years ago

orbit the Sun

range in size from a few feet to more than 500 miles across

most are found in the asteroid belt

Explanation:

Asteroids are rocky bodies orbiting the sun. Asteroids are irregular is shape and size. The size varies from few feet to 500 miles across. Majority of the asteroids lie in asteroid belt which lies between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. These are though to be remains of unformed planet about 4.6 billion years ago due to high gravitational pull of Jupiter. The largest asteroid is Ceres which is also a dwarf planet. The mass of the entire asteroid belt is just 4% the  mass of the moon.
