Physics HELP!!
Sound enters the ear travels through the auditory canal and reaches the ear drum, The auditory canal is approximately a tube open at only one end. The other end is closed by the eardrum. A typical length for the auditory canal in an adult is about 2.775 cm. The speed of sound ...

An underwater micriphone is used to record sounds emitted by porpoises. The minimum intensity level the instrument can record is 23.6dB. Assuming a porpoise emits sound at a rate of 0.0359J/s, what is the maximum distance at which the animal will still be recorded? Neglect sou...

The sound intensity of 1.2x10-12J/m2s is the threshold of hearing for humans. What is the amplitude of the motion of the air molecules if the speed of sound in the air is 343m/s and the density of air is 1.28kg/m^3? Take the frequency of the air molecules as 1000 Hz

Physics
An FM radio station broadcasts at 82.3MHz. Determine the period of the radio waves. I already go the answer: 1.22×10-8 s but help me with part b please!!! b). What is the wavelength of the waves?

Physics
Bats can detect small insects that are about equal in size to the wavelength of the sound the bat makes with its echolocation system. A bat emits chirps at a frequency of 17.7kHz. Using the speed of sound as 340m/s, what is the smallest insect the bat can detect?

Physics
A traveling wave has displacement D(x,t)=(3.00cm)sin(5.36x-6.71t), where x is in meters and t is in seconds. What is the wave speed of this wave? **snapshot graph at t=1/4 s

Physics
A hammer taps on the end of a 8.13m long metal bar at room temperature. A microphone at the other end of the bar picks up two pulses of sound, one that travels through the metal and one that travels through the air. The pulses are separated in time by 10.00ms. What is the spee...

Math/Statistics
Can anyone please help me explain confidence intervals. How does one tell/determine if a confidence interval is too wide? What indicates too wide? Thanks in advance!
