AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the wavelength of the lowest frequency for a 3.0 m organ pipe that is open at both ends, using a sound velocity of 331 m/s. The key formula involves the relationship between wavelength, frequency, and pipe length, specifically that the wavelength is twice the length of the pipe for the fundamental frequency. Participants are seeking clarification on their calculations, particularly how to derive the longest possible wavelength in the pipe. The conversation emphasizes understanding the fundamental frequency and its corresponding wavelength in a pipe configuration. Accurate application of the formulas is crucial for solving the problem effectively.

Homework Statement


A 3.0 organ pipe is open at both ends. The velocity of sound is 331 m/s. What is the wavelength of the lowest frequency?


Homework Equations


am i missing something...i need a lil help here!


The Attempt at a Solution



wavelength=2L/n fn=V/wavelength(n)=n(V/2L)=nf1
n(331)/(2)(3.0) ?

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}...
