If you take snapshots of a standing wave on a string, there are certain instants when the string is totally flat. What has happened to the energy of the wave at those instants?
A very thin oil film floats on water.
What is the thinnest film that produces a strong reflection for
green light with a wavelength of 500 nm?
Two radio antennas are separated by 2.0 m. Both broadcast
identical 750 MHz waves. If you walk around the antennas in a
circle of radius 10 m, how many maxima will you detect?
You have two small, identical boxes that generate 440 Hz
notes. While holding one, you drop the other from a 20-m-high
balcony. How many beats will you hear before the falling box hits
the ground? You can ignore air resistance.
An organ pipe is tuned to exactly 384 Hz when the room temperature is 20°C. If the room temperature later increases to 22°C, does the pipe’s frequency increase, decrease, or stay the same? Explain.
