Density of standing waves in a cavity

AI Thread Summary
The density of standing waves in a cavity is described by the formula G(f)df = (8πf²/c³)df, which raises questions about its relevance to wave density. Some participants express confusion over the formula's appearance and its connection to density concepts. Clarifications indicate that adjustments to the formula can reveal its relationship to density more clearly. The discussion emphasizes the need for a deeper understanding of the formula's derivation and implications. Overall, participants seek to reconcile the formula with conventional density definitions in wave mechanics.

Why is the density of standing waves in a cavity
G(f)df=((8*pi*f^2)/(c^3))*df?
Also that formula looks weird... doesn't look like it has anything to do with density...

? can somebody please help?
 
it relates to density afrer u change a bit in the formula itself.
 
thats not true answer
 

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

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'

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'

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...
