    Frequency Period
AI Thread Summary
A frequency of 29 kHz corresponds to a period of 1/29000 seconds, which equals approximately 3.44 x 10^-5 seconds. However, there is confusion regarding the measurement, as one participant mentions reading 0.33 ms from the scope, suggesting a possible misreading. This discrepancy raises questions about whether the correct period should be 0.034 ms instead. Clarification on the correct unit of measurement is necessary for accurate calculations. Accurate interpretation of frequency and period is crucial in understanding wave properties.

Homework Statement



If I have a frequency of 29k Hz, then the period is 1/29000, which is 3.44 * 10^-5 second
Is this correct?

Are you not sure about your calculator?
 
I am not sure about whether it is ms or second as when I try to read it from the scope I got .33 ms
 
In that case it should be 0.034 ms.
 
you mean I might have misread the scope?
 
Yes.
 

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
