Apost office has a single line for customers waiting for the next available postal clerk. there are two postal clerks who work at the same rate. the arrival rate of customers follows a poisson distribution, while the service time follows an exponential distribution. the average arrival rate is three per minute and the average service rate is two per minute for each of the two clerks. what is the average length of the line? 3.429 1.929 1.143 0.643 none of these

Follow these directions and answer the questions. 1. set up the ripple tank as in previous investigations. 2. bend the rubber tube to form a "concave mirror" and place in the ripple tank. the water level must be below the top of the hose. 3. generate a few straight pulses with the dowel and observe the reflected waves. do the waves focus (come together) upon reflection? can you locate the place where the waves meet? 4. touch the water surface where the waves converged. what happens to the reflected wave? 5. move your finger twice that distance from the hose (2f = c of c, center of the curvature) and touch the water again. does the image (the reflected wave) appear in the same location (c of c)? you may have to experiment before you find the exact location. sometimes it is hard to visualize with the ripple tank because the waves move so quickly. likewise, it is impossible to "see" light waves because they have such small wavelengths and move at the speed of light. however, both are examples of transverse waves and behave in the same way when a parallel wave fronts hit a curved surface.

Your target variable is δf, the magnitude of the difference in frequency between the waves emitted from the sonar device and the waves received by the device after reflecting off the whale. write an expression for δf in terms of the relevant frequencies using the subscript notation introduced above.
