A cowboy stands on horizontal ground between two parallel, vertical clifTs. He is not midway between the cliffs. Me fires a shot and hears its echoes. The second echo arrives 1.92 s after the first and 1.47 s before the third. Consider only the sound traveling parallel to the ground and reflecting from the cliffs, (a) What is the distance between the cliffs? (b) What If? If he can hear a fourth echo, how long after the third echo does it arrive?
Later in this book, you will learn that sound is a wave. The wavelength and frequency f of a wave are related by f = v where v is the speed of the wave. Musicians refer to these different wavelengths or frequencies by their notes (AG). Use the information in the following table to plot the frequency on the vertical axis and 1/ on the horizontal axis. Give a conceptual Interpretation and numerical value of the slope on your graph.

How would you represent the following problems with the given data in drawings or pictures? 4.- Calculate the speed or magnitude of the speed with which a longitudinal wave propagates with a frequency of 120 Hz/s and a wavelength of 10 m/cycle. 1.- What is the illumination produced by a 120 cd lamp on a perpendicular surface located at a distance of 2.5 cm away? 2.- A lamp in a classroom has an intensity of 250 cd, what is the illumination that it produces on a notebook, if there is a distance of 3m and an angle of 45º between them? I would be grateful for your answers :) :)
Figure 2 shows four different waves on a string: A, B, C and D. The horizontal line on each of them has the same length and scale representing time in seconds. Type or mark the wave that has the highest frequency. The results of all problems should be expressed in SI units, unless the problem tells you indicate in other units.
