Impedance and Frequency- directly or indirectly related?

AI Thread Summary
Impedance is discussed as being inversely related to frequency, with the formula Z = p/v and v defined as velocity in terms of frequency and wavelength. The conversation emphasizes the need for clarity in defining "impedance," as it can refer to different contexts, such as electromagnetic waves or physical tension waves. Participants express confusion over the initial query and stress the importance of specificity in problem statements. Overall, the relationship between impedance and frequency remains a focal point of debate. Clear definitions are essential for meaningful discussion in this area.

Impedance and Frequency- directly or indirectly related?


I think it's inversely. Am I correct?
Let Impedance =Z
p==pressure
v=velocity

Z = p/v and v=f(lamda)

So Z= p / (f(lamda))

Isn't Impedance inversely proportional to frequency?

Yeah, I was totally confused by your initial thread:

https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=134718

In general, we discourage double-posting here on the PF, but we'll let you get away with it this time if you DEFINE WHAT THE HECK YOU MEAN BY IMPEDANCE. Is it the characteristic impedance for a freely propagating EM wave, or some quantity for a physical tension wave propagating on a string or what?

You need to be more specific in your problem statement. Please.
 

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 '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...
