A musician in a concert hall is tuning her wind instrument. When she plays a short note she hears the echo of the note return from the opposite side of the 50.0 meter long auditorium 0.294 seconds later. Model the instrument as a tube closed at one end, if the instrument is properly tuned the note of the musician played would have a frequency of 233.082 Hz, but instead has a frequency of 226.513 Hz. This note is the first overtone, since the fundamental frequency is suppressed on this instrument. 1) What is the speed of sound in the concert hall on that day? 2) What is the temperature of the concert hall on that day in Kelvin? 3) What is the length of the tubing on the musician's instrument in meters? 4) How much does the musician need to change the length of the tubing to be in tune on that day? Does the tube need to be shortened or lengthened? Find the change in length of the tube, and make sure to use a negative number if the tube needs to be shorter. ( answer in meters.) 5) What is the fundamental frequency of this instrument when correctly tuned? 6) What is the second overtone of the correctly tuned instrument?  

if fusion power were harnesed today, the abundant energy that results would probably sustain and even further encourage our present appetite for continued growth and in a relatively few doubling times produce an appreciable fraction of solar power input to earth. make an argument that the current delay in harnessing fusion is a blessing for the human race

2) Operating a steady-state, a well insulated mixing chamber receives two input liquid streams of the same substance but with temperatures T1 and T2 and mass flow rates m ̇ 1 and m ̇ 2 respectively. The streams are mixed in the chamber, exiting as a single stream with T3 and m ̇ 3. Assuming the substance is incompressible with constant specific heat C, that potential energy, kinetic energy, and pressure changes are negligible, obtain an expression for

a) T3 in terms of T1, T2 and the ratio of the mass flow rates m ̇ 1/m ̇ 3.

Determine the coefficient of kinetic friction betwen the cars and the road, assuming that the negative acceleration is constant and that all wheels on both cars lock at the time of impact.

When you shine a laser with unknown wavelength through a diffraction grating with 1000 slits/mm, you observe the m = 1 bright fringe on the screen with an angle of 26 degrees away from the center of the grating.

What is the wavelength of your laser?

Plug in the relevant numbers to solve for your laser pointer photon wavelength in nanometers.

If the new diffraction bright fringe is at a LARGER angle than the diffraction bright fringe from the first grating, is the new diffraction spacing larger or smaller than the old diffraction line spacing?

Similarly, what if the new diffraction bright fringe is at a SMALLER angle?
