    Air Sound Speed
AI Thread Summary
The speed of sound in air is independent of frequency, meaning that both 100Hz and 200Hz sound travel at the same speed. The speed of sound is primarily determined by the temperature of the air, which is not provided in the discussion. The formula for calculating the speed of sound in air is v = (331 + 0.606Tc) m/s, where Tc is the temperature in Celsius. Therefore, the question of comparing the speeds of 100Hz and 200Hz sound does not require frequency-based calculations. Understanding that sound speed is a material property related to density and elasticity clarifies this concept.

Homework Statement


compared to the speed of 100Hz sound the speed of 200Hz sound through air is?


Homework Equations


i thought i needed the temp of air to fiigure this question out, but the temp is not given? is this question as simple as 200/100 or no??


The Attempt at a Solution



speed of sound in air = v=(331+0.606Tc )m/s?

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...

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 .
