The visible range of light is considered light that ahs a wavelength between 400 and 700 nm, What is the visible frequency range of light (convert this wavelength range to frequency). Use speed of sound as 344 m/s in ai for the above calcualtions 2-) An interesting method to remove brain tumor involves using an ultrasonic surgical aspirator, which produces sound waves with frequency 23k Hz. (a) What is the wavelength of this sound in air? When this device is used on tissue the medium the sound travels in is no longer in air, but instead is bodily tissue and fluids, where the speed of sound is roughly 1480 m/s, what is the wavelength of the sound in this medium (frequency is unchanged).
Briefly explain different waves as evident from EEG.
All galaxies farther away than about 50106ly exhibit a red shift in their emitted light that is proportional to distance, with those father and farther away having progressively greater red shifts. What does this imply, assuming that the only source of red shift is relative motion? (Hint: At these large distances, it is space itself that is expanding, but the effect on light is the same.)
How is the difference in paths taken by two originally in-phase light waves related to whether they interfere constructively or destructively? How can this be affected by reflection? By refraction?
Integrated Concepts An aircraft maintenance technician walks past a tall hangar door that acts like a single slit for sound entering the hangar. Outside the door, on a line perpendicular to the opening in the door, a jet engine makes a 600-Hz sound. At what angle with the door will the technician observe the first minimum in sound intensity if the vertical opening is 0.800 m wide and the speed of sound is 340 m/s?
When two waves interfere constructively or destructively, is there any gain or loss in energy in the system of the waves? Explain.
Jack and Jill go for a walk along an abandoned railroad track. Jack puts one ear next to a rail, while Jill, 200 m away, taps on the rail with a stone (Figure 6.55). How much sooner does Jack hear the sound through the steel rail than through the air?
A dolphin is able to tell in the dark that the ultrasound echoes received from two sharks come from two different objects only it the sharks are separated by 3.50 m, one being that much farther away than the other. (a) If the ultrasound has a frequency of 100 kHz, show this ability is not limited by its wavelength. (b) If this ability is due to the dolphin's ability to detect the arrival times of echoes, what is the minimum time difference the dolphin can perceive?
Two identical loudspeakers are placed on a wall 2.00 m apart. A listener stands 3.00 m from the wall directly in front of one of the speakers. A single oscillator is driving the speakers at a frequency of 300 Hz. (a) What is the phase difference in radians between the waves from the speakers when they reach the observer? (b) What If? What is the frequency closest to 300 Hz to which the oscillator may be adjusted such that the observer hears minimal sound?
How can you determine that the speed of sound is the same for all frequencies by listening to a band orchestra?
