AI Thread Summary
To find intensity (I) for frequencies other than 1000 Hz, it's crucial to clarify what is meant by intensity and its units, which are watts per square meter. There is no direct relationship between frequency and intensity, as frequency is context-dependent and varies with the specific situation and type of radiation involved. For instance, a tuning fork at 1000 Hz primarily emits sound at that frequency, while a VLF antenna operates within a narrow band around 1000 Hz. Additionally, blackbody radiation can vary widely in spectrum based on the temperature of the emitting object. Understanding the physical context is essential for accurately determining intensity across different frequencies.

If 1000 Hz corresponds to I = 10^-12 , then how do you find I for other given frequncies?

You need to tell us what you mean by I. Units would be helpful.
 
I would be intensity, in watts/squared metre.
 
There is no intrinsic relationship between frequency and intensity. Frequency depends entirely on the situation and the spectrum of radiation. For example, a tuning fork designed to vibrate at 1000 Hz will emit virtually no other sound at different frequencies. A VLF antenna designed for 1000 Hz will emit little outside a narrow band of EM frequencies centered on 1000 Hz. Blackbody radiation may be distributed over a very broad or relatively narrow spectrum depending on the temperature of the emitting object

First, are you thinking of acoustic waves, EM waves or something else? Perhaps you're thinking of energy of photons rather than intensity? What's the physical situation?
 
I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
