say that, during a storm, you can estimate how far away the storm is by counting the number seconds between lightening and thunder, and that every second represents another mile away. 1- The speed of light is approximately 2.98*10^8 m/s . Rewrite this (scientific notation) as a regular number (not scientific notation). 2- There are 1,609 meters in a mile. If the storm is one mile away, how long will it take for the light from the lightening to reach...

1. A howler monkey is the loudest land animal and, under some circumstances, can be heard up to a distance of 6.78 km. Assume the acoustic output of a howler to be uniform in all directions and that the threshold of hearing is 1.0 × 10^12 W/m2. The acoustic power, in mW, emitted by the howler is closest to 2. The sound from a single source can reach point O by two different paths. One path is 19.9 m long...

A small loudspeaker is located at a large distance to the east from you. The loudspeaker is driven by a sinusoidal current whose frequency can be varied. Estimate the lowest frequency for which your ears would receive the sound waves exactly out of phase when you are facing north. (Assume that the speaker and your ears are on the same line and let the distance between your ears be about 18 cm. Take the speed of sound in air to...

In standing waves experiments, a) with a 660Hz tuning fork you measure a distance of 25 +/- 2cm between adjacent nodes. Is the value of c = 340 m/s a value within the uncertainty of your measured value? b) If you blow air along the top of an open soda bottle you can excite a standing wave and hear a sound. Explain what happens if you put some water into the bottle and then perform the same experiment.

You are standing at the midpoint between two speakers, a distance D away from each. The speakers are playing the exact same sound of frequency 170 Hz in phase with each other. Describe what happens when you walk 1 m directly toward one of the speakers. Assume the speed of sound is 340 m/s. Also assume you can't hear any sounds except those produced by the speakers. You begin by hearing nothing, but the sound gets louder. Then it gets...
