Cavity Density Standing waves Waves

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...

it relates to density afrer u change a bit in the formula itself.

Thread 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

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 .

Thread 'I've come across another fluid pressure problem I don't understand'

Neglect gravity other than that of water; neglect friction. F1=ρgsh=1000*10*1*(1+4)=50000 N; F1=ρgsh=1000*10*0.1*4=4000 N; F3=50000-4000=46000 N?

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...
