Sound waves, like light waves, can interfere with each other, giving maximum and minimum levels of sound. Suppose a listener standing directly between two loudspeakers hears the same tone being emitted from both. This listener observes that when one of the speakers ismoved 0.16 m farther away, the perceived intensity of thetone decreases from a maximum to a minimum.(a) Calculate the wavelength of the sound.(b) Calculate its frequency, using 343 m s-1as the speedof sound.
Assume that for ¹H35 Cl molecule the rotational quantum number J is 11 and vibrational quantum number n = 0. The isotopic mass of ¹H atom is 1.0078 amu and the isotopic mass of 35 C1 atom is 34.9688 amu, k = 516 N · m¯¹, and x = 127.5 pm. Part E Calculate the period for vibration. Express your answer in seconds to three significant figures. Tvibrational = Part F Submit Previous Answers 1.12x10-14 s Correct Correct answer is shown. Your answer 1.1181.10-¹4 = 1.1181x10-14s was either rounded differently or used a different number of significant figures than required for this part. Calculate the period for rotation. Express your answer in seconds to four significant figures. Trotational = ΑΣΦ W ? S
In an X-ray photoelectron experiment. a photon of wavelength 100 pm ejects an electron from the inner shell of an atom and it emerges with a speed of 2.34 x 104 km s-1. Calculate the binding energy of the electron.
