AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the resonance frequency of a swimmer's ear canal, which is 5 cm long and filled with water at a velocity of 1500 m/s. The ear canal can be modeled as a closed column of fluid. The resonance frequency can be determined using the formula for the fundamental frequency of a closed tube, which is influenced by the length of the canal and the speed of sound in water. Participants encourage the original poster to attempt a solution based on the provided parameters. The conversation emphasizes the importance of applying physics principles to solve the problem.

A person is swimming underwater and his ear canal of length L=5 cm is filled with water. It can be treated as a column of fluid open at one and closed at the other(eardrum). Velocity of in water is 1500 m/s, at what frequency will his ear be most sensetive due to resonance in his ear canal?

Hello Resul, :welcome:

This looks a lot like homework :smile: so please use the template and show an attempt at solution. See PF guidelines ...
 

Thread 'Why can't Solar panels be hemispherical, or a curved strip type?'

comparing a flat solar panel of area 2π r² and a hemisphere of the same area, the hemispherical solar panel would only occupy the area π r² of while the flat panel would occupy an entire 2π r² of land. wouldn't the hemispherical version have the same area of panel exposed to the sun, occupy less land space and can therefore increase the number of panels one land can have fitted? this would increase the power output proportionally as well. when I searched it up I wasn't satisfied with...
