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?

Your Solution:

Higher pitched waves are longtudinal because of damping factor where they are damped out

touching the end of the rod while the lower pitched waves are transverse becasue they touch

the rod at the end side.

@&

Touching the rod at the tip will damp out oscillations in which the end is moving toward and away from the finger, i.e., along the line of the rod.

Touching it on the side of the end will damp out oscillations in which the end is moving toward and away from the finger, i.e., perpendicular to the line of the rod.

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

Given Solution: `qSTUDENT RESPONSE: The logitudinal 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.

Your solution

To compare the intensity of sound on the dB1 and dB2 we will follow the process below;

dB1-dB2=10(log I1-log I2)

=10log(I1/I2)

=120-20=100

=100log I1/I2=100/10=10

Therefor the I1/I2=10^10

confidence rating #$&*:

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

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

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.

Question: `qquery gen phy 12.30 length of open pipe, 262 Hz at 21 C? **** gen phy What is the

length of the pipe?

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

Given the frequency and temp we will first calculate the velocity as follows;

v=(331+0.60*21)=344m/s

lambda=v/f=344/262=1.31m

But the occurance is ANANA then that will mean 1/4 wavelenth*1.31=0.33m

which the distance between the two will be 2*0.33=0.66m

confidence rating #$&*:

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

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

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.

Question: `q**** Univ phy 16.79 11th edition 16.72 (10th edition 21.32): Crab nebula 1054

A.D.;, H gas, 4.568 * 10^14 Hz in lab, 4.586 from Crab streamers coming toward Earth.

Velocity? Assuming const vel diameter? Ang diameter 5 arc minutes; how far is it?

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

Since 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 = 3.5 * 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 7 * 10^16 meters.

@&

It's not clear how you got this.

This result depends on the speed of the streamers, which is determined by the Doppler shift of the hydrogen lines.

*@

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 3.5 * 10^16 meters / (9 * 10^15 m / light yr) = 4 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 7 * 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) = 4444light years distant

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.

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,

Although its explained well i still get alittle lost.

@&

The bottom line is that 3 * 10^16 meters is roughly 3 light years. It's easier to calculate that yourself than to follow someone else's calculations. Having done so then the other person's calculations will likely make more sense.

So figure it out for yourself. How many light years is 3 * 10^16 meters?

Let me know if this doesn't help.

Question: `q **** query univ phy 16.66 (21.26 10th edition). 200 mHz refl from fetal heart

wall moving toward sound; refl sound mixed with transmitted sound, 85 beats / sec. Speed of

sound 1500 m/s.

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

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

Since we given the frequecny, speed of sound, and the beats we can use it to get what we dont

have as follows;

200mHz=2*10^8Hz

The frequency of the sound as experienced by the heart 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.

Rearranging and solving for v

(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,

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

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

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.
