A trombone has a variable length. When a musician blows into the mouthpiece and causes air in the tube of the horn to vibrate, t

he waves set up by the vibrations reflect back and forth in the horn to create standing waves. As the length of horn is made shorter, what happens to the frequency?
a)The frequency will increase or decrease depending on how hard the horn player blows.

b)The frequency will increase

c)The frequency will decrease

d)The frequency will increase or decrease depending on the diameter of the horn.

e)The frequency will remain same

Answer:

The frequency increases with a shorter horn <em>(Option B)</em>.

Explanation:

The length of the horn determines the distance along which the wave travels; simply called the wavelength. Therefore, a short horn tube will produce a short wavelength and vice versa.

Sound waves have various characteristics that define pitches in musical instruments and these characteristics are interdependent on each other.

in this case, the frequency and the frequency and the wavelength are related.

The relationship between the wavelength and its frequency is given as:

<em>    </em><em>c = f λ </em><em>  </em>

<em>where 'c' is the speed of sound through the instrument; 'f ' is the frequency and 'λ' is the wavelength.</em>

Let's assume that the speed at which the musician blows air into the mouthpiece remains constant, an increase in wavelength will cause a decrease in frequency. Conversely, as the tube of the horn becomes shorter the frequency increases.

Answer: Increase in wave frequency

Explanation:

When we talk about acoustics we are dealing with sound waves, and one of their main components along with the velocity and wavelength is the <u>frequency.</u>

In this sense, the frequency of any wave refers to how fast (or slow) a wave oscillates. For example, in the especific case of sound waves when the oscillation is faster, the frequency is higher and the pitch gets higher as well.

nydimaria [60]

Answer:

w = √ 1 / CL

This does not violate energy conservation because the voltage of the power source is equal to the voltage drop in the resistence

Explanation:

This problem refers to electrical circuits, the circuits where this phenomenon occurs are series RLC circuits, where the resistor, the capacitor and the inductance are placed in series.

In these circuits the impedance is

             X = √ (R² +  (X_{C} -X_{L})² )

where Xc and XL is the capacitive and inductive impedance, respectively

            X_{C} = 1 / wC

           X_{L} = wL

From this expression we can see that for the resonance frequency

           X_{C} = X_{L}

the impedance of the circuit is minimal, therefore the current and voltage are maximum and an increase in signal intensity is observed.

This does not violate energy conservation because the voltage of the power source is equal to the voltage drop in the resistence

               V = IR

Since the contribution of the two other components is canceled, this occurs for

                X_{C} = X_{L}

                1 / wC = w L

                w = √ 1 / CL

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

to create the particle the speed must be greater than 2.25 10⁸ m / s

Explanation:

In this exercise we must use the relation of the index of refraction with the speed of light in a vacuum and a material medium

           n = c / v

where c is the speed of light in the vacuum, v the speed of light in the material medium and n the ratio of rafraccio

in this case they give us that the medium matter water them that has a refractive index of

              n = 1,333

we clear

          v = c / n

let's calculate

           v = 3 10⁸ / 1,333

           v = 2.25 10⁸ m / s

to create the particle the speed must be greater than 2.25 10⁸ m / s

B⃗ is kept constant but the coil is rotated so that the magnetic field, B⃗ , is now in the plane of the coil. How will the magne
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

<u>The flux decreases because the angle between B⃗ and the coil's axis changes.</u>

<u />

Explanation:

The flux through the coil is given by a dot product, between the magnetic field and the vector representing the area of the coil.

\Phi = \vec{B}\cdot \vec{S} = BScos(\theta)

The latter vector has direction perpendicular to the plane in which the area of the coil is, and magnitude equal to the area of the coil. As in the attached image, the vector S is the vector respresenting the area of the coil.

Therefore, the flux will be maximum when the vector S is in the same direction as B, and will be zero when they are perpendicular.

Now, if <em>the coil is rotated so that the magnetic field is in the plane of the coil </em>then, the vectors S and B are perpendicualr, and there will not be net magnetic flux, that is, the flux will decrease.
