Question:`qquery experiment to be viewed and read but not performed:transverse and longitudinal waves in aluminum rod

`what is the evidence that the higher-pitched waves are longitudinal while the lower-pitched waves are transverse?

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your Solution: The longitudinal waves had a higher velocity. That doesn't provide evidence that the high-pitched wave was longitudinal, since we didn't directly measure the velocity of those waves. The higher-pitches waves were damped out much more rapidly by touching the very end of the rod, along its central axis, than by touching the rod at the end but on the side. The frequency with which pulses arrive at the ear determines the pitch. The amplitude of the wave affects its intensity, or energy per unit area. For a given pitch the energy falling per unit area is proportional to the square of the amplitude. Intensity is also proportional to the square of the frequency.

Question:`qquery General College Physics and Principles of Physics 12.08:Compare the intensity of sound at 120 dB with that of a whisper at 20 dB.

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution: The intensity at 120 dB is found by solving the equation dB =10 log(I / I_threshold) for I. We get log(I / I_threshold) = dB / 10, so that I / I_threshold = 10^(120 / 10) = 12and I = I_threshold * 10^12. Since I_threshold = 10^-12 watts / m^2, we have for dB = 120:

I = 10^-12 watts / m^2 * 10^12 = 1 watt / m^2. The same process tells us that for dB = 20 watts, I = I_threshold * 10^(20 / 10) = 10^-12 watts / m^2 * 10^2 = 10^-10 watts / m^2. Dividing 1 watt / m^2 by 10^-10 watts / m^2, we find that the 120 dB sound is 10^10 times as intense, or 10 billion times as intense. A more elegant solution uses the fact that dB_1 - dB_2 = 10 log(I_1 / I_threshold)-( 10 log(I_2 / I_threshold) ) = 10 log(I_1 / I_threshold) - ( 10 log(I_2 / I_threshold)

=10 {log(I_1) - log( I_threshold) - [ ( log(I_2) - log(I_threshold) ]}= 10 { log(I_1) - log(I_2)}

= 10 log(I_1 / I_2). So we have 120 - 20 = 100 = 10 log(I_1 / I_2)and log(I_1 / I_2) = 100 / 10 = 10 so that I_1 / I_2 = 10^10.

Given Solution:

`aThe intensity at 120 dB is found by solving the equation dB =10 log(I / I_threshold) for I.

We get

log(I / I_threshold) = dB / 10, so that

I / I_threshold = 10^(120 / 10) = 12and

I = I_threshold * 10^12.

Since I_threshold = 10^-12 watts / m^2, we have for dB = 120:

I = 10^-12 watts / m^2 * 10^12 = 1 watt / m^2.

The same process tells us that for dB = 20 watts, I = I_threshold * 10^(20 / 10) = 10^-12 watts / m^2 * 10^2 = 10^-10 watts / m^2.

Dividing 1 watt / m^2 by 10^-10 watts / m^2, we find that the 120 dB sound is 10^10 times as intense, or 10 billion times as intense.

A more elegant solution uses the fact that dB_1 - dB_2 = 10 log(I_1 / I_threshold)-( 10 log(I_2 / I_threshold) )

= 10 log(I_1 / I_threshold) - ( 10 log(I_2 / I_threshold) )

=10 {log(I_1) - log( I_threshold) - [ ( log(I_2) - log(I_threshold) ]}

= 10 { log(I_1) - log(I_2)}

= 10 log(I_1 / I_2).

So we have

120 - 20 = 100 = 10 log(I_1 / I_2)and

log(I_1 / I_2) = 100 / 10 = 10 so that

I_1 / I_2 = 10^10.

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.............................................

Given Solution:

`aGOOD STUDENT SOLUTION

First we must determine the velocity of the sound waves given the air temperature.We do this using this formula

v = (331 + 0.60 * Temp.) m/s

So v = (331 + 0.60 * 21) m/s

v = 343.6 m/s

The wavelength of the sound is

wavelength = v / f = 343.6 m/s / (262 Hz) = 1.33 meters, approx..

The pipe is open, so it has antinodes at both ends.

• The fundamental frequency occurs when there is a single node between these antinodes. So the length of the pipe corresponds to two node-antinode distances.

• Between a node and an adjacent antinode the distance is 1/4 wavelength. In this case this distance is 1/4 * 1.33 meters = .33 meters, approx..

• The two node-antinode distances between the ends of the pipe therefore correspond to a distance of 2 * .33 meters = .66 meters.

We conclude that the pipe is .64 meters long.

Had the pipe been closed at one end then there would be a node and one end and an antinode at the other and the wavelength of the fundamental would have therefore been 4 times the length; the length of the pipe would then have been 1.33 m / 4 = .33 m.

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.............................................

Given Solution:

`a** Since fR = fS ( 1 - v/c) we have v = (fR / fS - 1) * c = 3 * 10^8 m/s * ( 4.586 * 10^14 Hz / (4.568 * 10^14 Hz) - 1) = 1.182 * 10^6 m/s, approx.

In the 949 years since the explosion the radius of the nebula would therefore be about 949 years * 365 days / year * 24 hours / day * 3600 seconds / hour * 1.182 * 10^6 m/s = 3.5 * 10^16 meters, the diameter about 7 * 10^16 meters.

5 minutes of arc is 5/60 degrees or 5/60 * pi/180 radians = 1.4 * 10^-3 radians.The diameter is equal to the product of the distance and this angle so the distance is

distance = diameter / angle = 7 * 10^16 m / (1.4 * 10^-3) = 2.4 * 10^19 m.

Dividing by the distance light travels in a year we get the distance in light years, about 6500 light years.

CHECK AGAINST INSTRUCTOR SOLUTION:** There are about 10^5 seconds in a day, about 3 * 10^7 seconds in a year and about 3 * 10^10 seconds in 1000 years.It's been about 1000 years.So those streamers have had time to move about 1.177 * 10^6 m/s * 3 * 10^10 sec = 3 * 10^16 meters.

That would be the distance of the closest streamers from the center of the nebula.The other side of the nebula would be an equal distance on the other side of the center.So the diameter would be about 6 *10^16 meters.

A light year is about 300,000 km/sec * 3 * 10^7 sec/year = 9 * 10^12 km = 9 * 10^15 meters.So the nebula is about 3 * 10^16 meters / (9 * 10^15 m / light yr) = 3 light years in diameter, approx.

5 seconds of arc is 5/60 of a degree or 5 / (60 * 360) = 1 / 4300 of the circumference of a full circle, approx.

If 1/4300 of the circumference is 6 * 10^16 meters then the circumference is about 4300 times this distance or about 2.6 * 10^20 meters.

The circumference is 1 / (2 pi) times the radius.We're at the center of this circle since it is from here than the angular diameter is observed, so the distance is about 1 / (2 pi) * 2.6 * 10^20 meters = 4 * 10^19 meters.

This is about 4 * 10^19 meters / (9 * 10^15 meters / light year) = 4400 light years distant.

What is the speed of the fetal heart at the instant the measurement is made?

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

confidence rating #$&*:

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.............................................

Given Solution:

`a. ** 200 MHz is 200 * 10^6 Hz = 2 * 10^8 Hz or 200,000,000 Hz.

The frequency of the wave reflected from the heart will be greater, according to the Doppler shift.

The number of beats is equal to the difference in the frequencies of the two sounds.So the frequency of the reflected sound is 200,000,085 Hz.

The frequency of the sound as experienced by the heart (which is in effect a moving 'listener') is fL = (1 + vL / v) * fs = (1 + vHeart / v) * 2.00 MHz, where v is 1500 m/s.

This sound is then 'bounced back', with the heart now in the role of the source emitting sounds at frequency fs = (1 + vHeart / v) * 2.00 MHz, the 'old' fL.The 'new' fL is

fL = v / (v - vs) * fs = v / (v - vHeart) * (1 + vHeart / v) * 2.00 MHz.

This fL is the 200,000,085 Hz frequency.So we have

200,000,085 Hz = 1500 m/s / (v - vHeart) * (1 + vHeart / v) * 2.00 MHz and

v / (v - vHeart) * (1 + vHeart / v) = 200,000,085 Hz / (200,000,000 Hz) = 1.000000475.

A slight rearrangement gives us

(v + vHeart) / (v - vHeart) = 1.000000475 so that

v + vHeart = 1.000000475 v - 1.000000475 vHeart and

2.000000475 vHeart = .000000475 v, with solution

vHeart = .000000475 v / (2.000000475), very close to

vHeart = .000000475 v / 2 = .000000475 * 1500 m/s / 2 = .00032 m/s,

about .3 millimeters / sec. **

STUDENT COMMENT

My final answer was twice the answer in the given solution. I thought that I used the

Doppler effect equation correctly; however, I may have solved for the unknown incorrectly.

INSTRUCTOR RESPONSE

The equations tell you the frequency that would be perceived by a hypothetical detector on the heart.

Suppose that each time the detector records a 'peak', it sends out a pulse. The pulses are sent out at the frequency of the detected wave. The source of these pulses is the detector, which is moving toward the 'listener', and as a result they are detected at an even higher frequency.

Thus the doubled number of beats.
