A train traveling at 25 m/s is blowing its whistle at 440 Hz as it crosses a level crossing. You are waiting at the crossing and hear the pitch of the whistle change as the train passes you. The sound you hear changes from a frequency of to a frequency of _ _(Take the speed of sound to be 340 m/s.)

a. 410 Hz, 475 Hz
b. 472 Hz, 408 Hz
c. 408 Hz, 472 Hz
d. 475 Hz, 410 Hz

The lights used by mark watley (played by matt damon) during the film the martian seem to be metal halide lamps. metal halide lamps are filled with vaporized mercury and metal-halogen compounds. when an electric current is passed through the lamp, the tube begins to glow a bright white/blue color. if you were to pass this light through a prism to separate the individual light frequencies, you would see a rainbow just as you would if using natural sunlight because of the complexity of the metal halide gas and the vast amount of possible electron transitions. (the study of light in this way is known as spectroscopy and allows astronomers to know exactly what atoms compose distant stars, simply by looking at the light they emit. the spectral lines an atom produces uniquely identifies that atom just like a fingerprint uniquely identifies a person. the momentum equation and energy equation that we have used above can be combined to give the following equation: c = e p where again p is the phonon momentum, e is the photon energy and c is the speed of light. when you divide the photon energy found in #6 by the photon momentum found in #4, do you get the speed of light? (if not, check your work for questions #4 through #6). yes no

When many atoms are split in a chain reaction, a large explosion occurs. this is an example of what type of energy conservation

Why are graphs useful when interpreting data
