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?
 
Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
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...
