λ = 14 cm

d = 49 cm

Explanation:

Solution:

(a) What is the wavelength of the sound?

- The distance between two speakers is 28 cm and the intensity of the sound at any point P is maximum means there is constructive interference and the phase difference between the two waves at a point P on x axis must be an even multiple of π, and the equivalent path difference is nλ.

- Due to increase in the distance between the speakers the equivalent path difference increases and when the distance becomes 35 cm the intensity becomes zero means destructive interference and the equivalent path difference must be increase from nλ to nλ + (λ/2)

- Then the path difference can be written as:

nλ + (λ/2) - nλ = 35 - 28

(λ/2) = 7 cm

λ = 14 cm

b) If the distance between the speakers continues to increase, at what separation will the sound intensity again be a maximum?

- For the next maximum of intensity the path difference must be increased to (n+1)λ or the distance must be further increased by λ/2 = 14 cm. hence the intensity will be maximum again when the separation d will be:

d = 35 + 14

d = 49 cm

Neptune is the eighth planet from the sun. it was the first planet to get its existence predicted by mathematical calculations before it was actually seen through a telescope on sept. 23, 1846. irregularities in the orbit of uranus led french astronomer alexis bouvard to suggest that the gravitational pull from another celestial body might be responsible. german astronomer johann galle then relied on subsequent calculations to spot neptune via telescope. previously, astronomer galileo galilei sketched the planet, but he mistook it for a star due to its slow motion. in accordance with all the other planets seen in the sky, this new world was given a name from greek and roman mythology — neptune, the roman god of the sea.

To understand the behavior of the electric field at the surface of a conductor, and its relationship to surface charge on the conductor. a conductor is placed in an external electrostatic field. the external field is uniform before the conductor is placed within it. the conductor is completely isolated from any source of current or charge. part a: which of the following describes the electric field inside this conductor? it is in the same direction as the original external field. it is in the opposite direction from that of the original external field. it has a direction determined entirely by the charge on its surface. it is always zero. part b: the charge density inside the conductor is: 0non-zero; but uniformnon-zero; non-uniforminfinite part c: assume that at some point just outside the surface of the conductor, the electric field has magnitude e and is directed toward the surface of the conductor. what is the charge density η on the surface of the conductor at that point? express your answer in terms of e and ϵ0

Which sentences describe point source pollution? in this type of pollution, the source of the pollution is single and easily identifiable. when runoff water from the melting of snow mixes with debris, it creates pollution. the runoff water, mixed with pollutants, reaches large areas with disastrous effects. alternatively, when a wastewater treatment plant releases harmful chemicals into a stream, the chemicals pollute the stream water because they are not treated for safety.
